the first post, it was said to go to: Add the following suite above natty in /usr/share/python-apt/templates/Ubuntu.info and then follow the rest of his post. I didn't have to do that as it just 'appeared'

Yes, I did that. The Oneiric suite info is in the Ubuntu.info file.
I also edited the sources.list.
But I was expecting the lsb-release info to update at some stage - or do I have to do that by hand as well? Can't remember ever having to do that before - or am I just jumping too far ahead of the gun this time?

oops, sorry, hope I didn't come off rude as it wasn't intended. I had just changed sources using the first commands that were listed in OP and rebooted and lsb-release info was updated. Also I am using the .39rc5 kernel as well. Might as well go all the way!:P
pre-alpha ubuntu is usually the best time to use ubuntu.
Possible typo:
Description: Ubuntu 11.04 'Oneiric Ocelot'
changed to:
Description: Ubuntu 11.10 'Oneiric Ocelot'
Well you do not have to that ubuntu.info file editing any more. There is already the package python-apt in the Oneiric official repos.

You mean do not change natty-updates, natty-backports, natty-security, and natty-proposed to on oneiric-updates etc. Should i keep both natty-updates and oneiric-update etc. ?
If i am not wrong extra.ubuntu.com is opened later in release cycle.
oneiric-* is not needed right now

I think natty-proposed only mixes things up. These updates are meant to fix Natty setup, not Oneiric. Using that repo may even cause dependency issues in Oneiric. Natty-backports and Natty-security should not be used with Oneiric.
So the correct way is to switch to Oneiric-security. Also, as long as Oneiric is in development phase, the repos Oneiric-backports and Oneiric-proposed are empty repos and not needed now.
Note, that Natty Partner repo still has for example the sun-java packages while Oneiric Partner repo is empty.
Thanks for the reply. If i am not wrong this is what i am suppose to do.

Thank You for your help.
After 2 hours of working on „stable“ Natty, back from 20-days trip, reporting from Oneiric. Let us have a nice ride...
Trouble Ahead? I'm in the process of upgrading with the commands in the first post, and at the dist-upgrade part I get this:

This working from a freshly installed and upgraded natty. Last night I attempted the same thing on one of my old testing nattys and after doing the whole command line boogie, I never could get it booted again. No recovery mode, it god stuck running the init scripts, and hangs just after the fsck line with: ``` Starting CUPS printing spooled/service....[fail]
I do not recall these packages being removed last night but... I might have missed it?
Anyway, has anybody seen this? I have installed over the system from last night.
Any Ideas about my current situation?
In previous years I haven't had problems with this method to dist-upgrade especially early in the cycle.
Thanksjust got this huge proposal to remove packages but thanks i've not accepted, in fact it only happen if perl (and the related packages) is chosen for upgrade.
wonder if its the gtk2 beginning removal, wait & see.

Try updating with Synaptic, one package at a time. You will then find out wich package causes these dependency issues.
It may be the perl package (5.12.3-6ubuntu3).dino99 said: just got this huge proposal to remove packages but thanks i've not accepted, in fact it only happen if perl (and the related packages) is chosen for upgrade.

GTK+2 cannot be removed for a long time. A number of applications depend on and will depend on GTK+2.

LOL, there are 234 packages waiting to be installed or upgraded. One package at a time... :?:
):PThanks I'll look into the perl package
Not a big deal, just a test partition.

Yes, but note there are three perl packages:
And yet, a new update to the perl is in Launchpad waiting to be published. Here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+source/perl/5.12.3-6ubuntu4
Whats the favorite or best way to get updates, apt-get, aptitude, dist-grade, safe-upgrade, upgrade or wait ? I've tried all and can't remember what is best.
sudo aptitude upgrade shows this:
my fav is synaptic, nothing else, then view details changelog with update-manager

Might mean that some of the packages ready for update haven't reached the server yet, so apt only gets the command to remove the hell out of thigs. It had that habit during the last Kubuntu dev cycle.
what's with my update-manager ?

Right you are!
I did a simple upgrade which removed all but about 50 conflicts, and then went through in Synaptic "one by one" and installed everything that didn't want to remove anything. It is now down to 13 perl & related packages.
This is what the upgrade command gives:``` The following packages have been kept back: doc-base libalgorithm-diff-xs-perl libhtml-parser-perl liblocale-gettext-perl libnet-dbus-perl libterm-readkey-perl libtext-charwidth-perl libtext-iconv-perl libuuid-perl libxml-parser-perl perl perl-base perl-modules 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 13 not upgraded.
