WTH?
Anyway, this might be of some help.
If for some (extremely) odd reason your system thinks it's a LTS
release, it won't upgrade for a non-LTS version.
Be sure of having all packages updated first with
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
ONLY AFTER try:
gksu "update-manager -c -d"
For more info on update-manager options, try "update-manager --help".
WARNING: be sure to upgrade to the following version, in your case,
7.04; I do NOT know if using the -d will make update-manager do
something stupid like "jumping" to 8.04, which is still a Beta...

I searched how to upgrade Ubuntu 6.10 to 7.04 and got two hits almost
exactly the same instructions,
http://www.ubuntugeek.com/upgrade-ubuntu-610-edgy-eft-to-ubuntu-704-feisty-fawn-2.html
http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2007/03/upgrade-ubuntu-610-edgy-eft-to-ubuntu.html
I looked on www.Ubuntu.com and could not find how to upgrade other than
download the CD.
Here were the instructions I followed:
======================================
Upgrading Ubuntu Edgy to Ubuntu Feisty
Method 1 - Using GUI
If you want to upgrade using GUI use the following command
gksu “update-manager -c ”
“-c” switch tells it to look for upgrades at all.
You should see the following screen here Now you can see 7.04 is
available for upgrade click on upgrade.
=====================================
I opened a terminal window (I thought it was a GUI method).
and typed:
gksu “update-manager -c ”
this message was displayed:
warnings.warn("apt API not stable yet", FutureWarning)
Then the software updates screen appeared similar to what the web page
showed, but there was no option to click to upgrade to 7.04. It says my
system is up to date.
What did I do wrong? This should be simple.

Looking farther I found this page:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyUpdatesEnabled
typing into a terminal window:
dpkg -l update-manager
I get:
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
|
Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err:

||/ Name Version Description
+++-==============-==============-============================================
ii update-manager 0.42.2ubuntu22 GNOME application that manages apt
updates
So it looks like I have 0.42.2 not 0.45.2 as it says I need to do the
upgrade.
The instructions say:
=====================
If you only want to update the update-manager package, open
System/Administration/Synaptic Package Manager and click on "Search",
then type "update-manager". Verify in the "Latest Version" column that
0.45.2 is available and install it. If it is not available click on
"Reload". If it is still not available after a reload, open
Settings/Repositories and make sure that the "Internet
Updates/Recommended updates" checkbox is checked. After a reload the
update package will be available.
====================
Mine says only 0.42.2 is available. Since there was a
update-manager-core not installed, I installed it.
It did not make a difference.
I tried Reload and it is still not available.
I opened Settings/Repositories went to "Internet Updates"
and there were three check boxes:
Check for updates automatically "Daily"
Download Updates in the background, but do not install them
Install Security Updates without conformation
The first two were checked the last was not.
I do not see "Internet Updates/Recommended updates" anywhere.
All my channels in Synaptic Package Manager say Ubuntu 6.06 LTS. Is that
the problem? I thought the upgrade would update that.
