Upgrading to Ubuntu 10.10 says it's still a Development Release?

Question

I tried to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 - now that Ubuntu 10.10 is finally released. I used update-manager -d and the first window after pressing the upgrade button says that it is still a development release.

Is this true? Or have they not changed this window yet?

update-manager -d is the command to upgrade to development trunk versions of Ubuntu.

However, I think I recall Ubuntu updates the repositories to notify about the new release a few days after the release is live so that when people are prompted to upgrade, the bandwidth use spike from the day 1 enthusiasts has been fully absorbed. By using that route, you should still end up with a copy of "blessed" Ubuntu 10.10.

That said, even if it was marked as a development version, it wouldn't be any different. Go ahead, make your day!

I tried to upgrade but I got a an error: 'E:Couldn't configure pre-depend x11-common for x11-xkb-utils, probably a dependency cycle.' Maybe is something I installed. – Florin Oct 10 '10 at 14:41

You just have to run the update manager as normal from the System -> Admin menu as normal, and you'll get an option at the top of the windows to upgrade your distro.

When you type lsb_release -a in your terminal, you'll see that it says Ubuntu 10.10. Before there was also 'development brach' added.

You mean that you've done the upgrade with no problems and that in fact it upgraded to 10.10 final? – Florin Oct 10 '10 at 14:01
Note that it should be `lsb_release -a`. – Tommy Brunn Oct 10 '10 at 14:10
