If I remember correctly, 6.06.2LTS is Dapper. Have
you
changed your sources.list entries from dapper to
the
next higher version. Sorry, I don't remember if
it
gutsy or if there's another in between. If you go
the
upgrade route you have to upgrade in sequence and
after fully upgrading each version which is a real
pain.

(1) Going from 6.02.2LTS (Dapper) to 8.04.1LTS
(Hardy)
is explicitly supported. Going from LTS to LTS
is an exception to the "must upgrade through
each
intervening version" rule.
(2) One of the points of "do-upgrade-release" is
that you
don't have to mess with sources.list -- the tool
does it for you (like when you use
update-manager to
do a distribution upgrade).

I stand corrected and have learned something. Sorry
for the incorrect advice. Thanks for correcting me.
