I neglected to update my ARM system from raring to saucy in time. Now I can't install update-manager-core; things are missing.

Is there a way to manually update sources.list to point to some sort of archive so that I can get the update to saucy?

    @Tim, no OP's problem is a bit more complicated. See this Q and this chat for background. I looked around and couldn't find archives for armhf in old-releases or elsewhere. – muru Aug 12 '14 at 16:00
  • @muru okay, I have retracted the vote. It is OT tho isn't it? – Tim Aug 12 '14 at 16:42

    @Tim He's trying to upgrade, after all. I think there's some precedent for upgrade-related questions being on topic. – muru Aug 12 '14 at 17:25
  • This question is a duplicate. @muru knows what it's a duplicate of; he propose to close another question of mine to the correct target. The answer to this was the usual old-releases URL. After applying that, I ran into a much muckier problem with do-release-upgrade and arm for saucy that and I were unable to solve. – bmargulies Aug 12 '14 at 17:29
  • @bmargulies consider linking to the old question and chat and editing this question a bit so that others know this is a more problematic... er, problem. – muru Aug 12 '14 at 17:30

  • Does this question still apply? I'm not sure I understand if your issue was solved or not. – Seth Aug 23 '14 at 22:26
  • this issue was solved by switching to 'old-releases', in that I was able to install the updater package, for arm, once I switched to it. The subsequent issue in using the updater package, no, I've never found a solution to it. – bmargulies Aug 23 '14 at 22:29
