I'm trying to upgrade from Ubuntu Karmic to Lucid, but it fails because etckeeper detects changes which happen during sudo do-release-upgrade
and prevents the running of apt. How do I temporarily turn it off?
Edit:
** etckeeper detected uncommitted changes in /etc prior to apt run
** Aborting apt run. Manually commit and restart.
Exception during pm.DoInstall(): E:Problem executing scripts DPkg::Pre-Invoke 'if [ -x /usr/sbin/etckeeper ]; then etckeeper pre-install; fi', E:Sub-process returned an error code
Could not install the upgrades
As I said, it's claiming there's changes, even though I just committed.

The hook should be in
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/05etckeeper
. Moving it away should let you disable it.However, it does not seem that it should prevent upgrades. What sort of error do you get?
