  • What do dpkg --print-architecture and dpkg --print-foreign-architectures say? – s3lph Sep 28 '14 at 17:34
  • it returns "amd64" for the first command and "i386 armhf" for the other. – Ty Kayn Sep 29 '14 at 9:07

To do a release update on ubuntu you need to run sudo do-release-upgrade as apt-get update just refreshes the sources for packages and apt-get upgrade just updates all packages to the latest version, but doesn't update to the latest ubuntu release.

  • i tried sudo do-release-upgrade, and the other way with the graphical update manager. The update stopped because of mysterious network errors in both case. – Ty Kayn Sep 29 '14 at 9:09

There are no Ubuntu repositories for the armhf architecture. To upgrade, you need to disable the support for this arch during the release upgrade.

  1. Find out, what packages built for armhf you have installed: dpkg -l | grep armhf
  2. Uninstall these packages, if there are any. They cannot be upgraded automatically.
  3. Remove armhf from the multiarch system: sudo dpkg --remove-architecture armhf
  4. Do the upgrade: sudo do-release-upgrade

Optional, if you still need the software you just removed:

  1. Readd the armhf architecture: sudo dpkg --add-architecture armhf
  2. Install the armhf software you removed. (The same way you installed it before.)

  • the errors begginig with fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty – Ty Kayn Oct 2 '14 at 20:45
  • Did you add the armhf arch after the upgrade? If you don't need it, leav it away. – s3lph Oct 2 '14 at 21:01
