I'm trying to do do-release-upgrade (also tried the graphical version before - same issue with less details).

It always get stuck downloading openjdk-6-jre-headless. The exact line

3% [18 openjdk-6-jre-headless 27.1 MB/27.3 MB 99%]

It always exactly downloads 27.1 MB, then stops and then it tries again. I already changed the server but no difference (tried http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ and http://en.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ so far).

The direct link to the file is this. This file is about 26 MB (again different?).

Why is this? What's the problem? How can I fix it? Or work around it?

There are some similar questions, e.g. here orhere. The suggestions cannot really be applied for do-release-upgrade, though (or at least I don't know how).

I'm not sure if this can count as an answer but I post it anyway because this is how I solved it now:

It seemed that it already modified my sources.conf with the precise (the latest Ubuntu) release. So I just tried with both apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade. Initially, I got similar problems with openjdk-6-jre-headless but with some back and forth (I think mostly because of apt-get distupgrade), this somehow resolved. However, this also didn't finished completely and I got a very much messed up system.

Some follow up questions:

After I got this all resolved, I tried the do-release-upgrade again and it seems to work now.
