Upgrade from 10.11 to 11.04 fails

Asked by nulll

When I try to upgrade Kubuntu from 10.11 to 11.04 via graphical interface I get an error abuot one or more packages that are damaged.

This is the content of the file

Please follow my instructions from https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+question/154715 (but post here, not in that question). Also, if you reply to tell me that something didn't work, please also let me know how you were originally attempting to upgrade (for example, were you trying to use packages from the CD, or from the Internet?).

Thanks! The CLI way managed to update my system.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y upgrade
sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade

sudo do-release-upgrade

this was enough... thanks again!
