Dist-Upgrade to Gutsy using Adept

I’ve been using Kubuntu Gutsy for a while and have been keeping up with updates, but now with the final release of Gutsy out I decided to use Adept to dist-upgrade to the final release.

After getting an update of the latest packages, Adept gives you the option to perform the dist-upgrade.

Using Adept to Dist-Upgrade

The process is very easy for user to follow, although I did have a message informing me that support from Canonical had run out for some libraries (libgtk1.2).

New version availableUnsupported software warning

I was presented with a list of packages that would be installed/updated to complete the upgrade, and I went out to have a coffee (it estimated over an hour for downloading).

Packages to installThe long download

The process continued until the Installing the upgrades step, at which point it hung for well over half an hour and I grew impatient and ended it.

It just won’t install the updates

Fortunately I was able to use the Full Upgrade option in Adept to install the new updates.

I don’t really have time to install a pre-release version and try again, so I wonder if anyone else has come across this?
