I wanted to upgrade to 13.04 and as a necessity I need to update to 12.10. I have successfully updated in the past from Ubuntu 10 to Ubuntu 11 ans 12.04. Somehow, when I try from terminal or from update manager the update fails with shown in the following error.

I have also submitted the bug report via launchpad. I don't wish to update using dvd to save applications. Any alternative?

In a terminal run next commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Edit: Also, try to choose another download server.

  • @MalTec I would suggest reverting to other country's server instead of the main archive.ubuntu.com Jun 21, 2013 at 18:49

Seems other users didn't face this issue.

Remove any packages, that are greyed out. Like in my case: xserver-xorg-video-qxl and xserver-xorg-video-openchrome. And then the usual step:

sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-video-qxl
sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-video-openchrome
sudo apt-get update

It's working.
