I am trying to update 12.04 to 13.04 but I get a message saying "Saving installed packages..."

Question

The dots go round and round but after a few hours of this I have to kill the process.

Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! Try to update 12.04 first then do release upgrade. — Danatela, Sep 10 '13 at 03:25
@Danatela did you really think that? Check again the release page and confirm. Either way, only from LTS release to LTS release you can skip upgrades, with normal releases you can not. — Braiam, Sep 10 '13 at 03:36
@Braiam, oops, OK :) Raring will be out of date even more shortly then Quantal, so strange... — Danatela, Sep 10 '13 at 03:48

Thanks Metrik, I tried that, 1. worked; 2. worked 3. started but wanted me to put 13.04 CD in the drive & press enter. That didn't help (I made the CD by burning the ISO file to DVD. I also got a pop-up window telling me it was waiting for apt-get to end. Maybe I should just blatt 12.04 and start clean? – Rod Sep 10 '13 at 04:06
