Comment 7 for bug 580408

@ Colin Watson,

That's no problem. So I'm thinking instead of upgrading through update-manager I could just change the sources.list via "sed -i 's/karmic/lucid/g' /etc/apt/sources.list", then check to be sure 'proposed' is not commented out, and then upgrade via terminal with 'apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade'. Would that do the trick?

I have read:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed

But I'm still just a bit unclear how to go straight to proposed during a distribution upgrade.

My current "stable" Lucid has all the "proposed" updates installed anyway so I'm not concerned about parsing only the grub packages.

I'll go ahead and make a fresh install of Karmic now so I'll be ready when I see your reply. Sorry to be a pain.
