我们有一台旧的 ubuntu breezy 服务器，过去有人尝试升级它，但没有成功。我们需要升级它，但几乎所有的 apt-get 操作都返回如下内容：
apt-get install -f

关于如何纠正此问题，您有什么想法吗，以便我们可以一次升级一个版本（或最高升级到 10.04）
答案1
它dpkg安装了 Gutsy 的 1.14.5ubuntu16，并尝试apt从 Dapper 更新到 0.6.43.3ubuntu2，但此apt版本与已安装的版本不兼容dpkg（并且很可能与当前安装的 apt 版本不兼容）。
如果您确实想要升级，请将您的 sources.list 更改为使用 gutsy（http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ 有它）。然后apt从 Gutsy 手动下载并安装（以及它所需的任何内容）并尝试dist-upgrade。
但是我会考虑全新安装，因为 Dapper 和 Gutsy 的混合听起来很难看，而且如果仍然留有一些来自 Breezy 的包，那也不会变得更好。
