I have a server running 9.04 and I'd like to upgrade it to 9.10 (on the way to getting to the latest version). However, despite following the nice documentation, I am unable to.
Specifically, sudo do-release-upgrade fails:
Checking for a new ubuntu release
Done Upgrade tool signature
Done Upgrade tool
Done downloading
extracting 'lucid.tar.gz'
authenticate 'lucid.tar.gz' against 'lucid.tar.gz.gpg'
tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
Reading cache
Checking package manager
Can not upgrade
An upgrade from 'jaunty' to 'lucid' is not supported with this tool.
My original /etc/apt/sources.list:
## EOL upgrade sources.list
# Required
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-security main restricted universe multiverse
# Optional
#deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-backports main restricted universe multiverse
#deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-proposed main restricted universe multiverse
Changing jaunty to karmic and old-releases to releases gives 404 errors when I run sudo aptitude update. And, sudo do-release-upgrade still tries to upgrade directly to lucid.

Probably too late but....
This should be old-releases to archive
