I ran the Ubuntu Update Manager from the little icon that tells me there
are updates. It's the #1 screen shot in the Ubuntu JauntyUpgrades
document you reference
Clicking on that button takes me through the dialog that ends up with
the error message.
see: http://www.lucii.org/images/Dist-upgrade_error.png
The details are in the apt.log file, here: http://www.lucii.org/apt.log
I might go on to 9.10... I'm not sure yet. We're close enough to 10.04
that I might just run a few months on 9.04 and then do two upgrades in a
row.
