I have a leased server I've had for five years that is running Ubuntu 10.0.04LTS. I was trying to do an upgrade to something more recent (since apt-get kept erroring out) and found I don't have update-manager installed. apt-get can't find what it needs to install update-manager, so I'm stuck now. Ultimately, I just want to upgrade the system. So the question is how do I install update-manager when apt-get isn't making it happen?

Important point: I don't have any GUI here, only the command line.

  • "apt-get can find what it needs", is this right or is the other way round? – George Udosen Oct 11 '17 at 22:07

    Ubuntu LTS versions have a five year life span; so it should have been upgraded ages back. The mirror I use drop their files a few months after a release is EOL hence errors can be expected post EOL depending on what's in your /etc/apt/sources.list. Find a server that has the files, point there or wget what you want & dpkg install, or follow https://askubuntu.com/questions/911691/how-to-upgrade-ubuntu-server-10-04-to-12-04 – guiverc Oct 11 '17 at 22:26

  • @chris, probably 5 years and 9 months to be more exact. – Lance Roberts Oct 11 '17 at 23:10
