Jumping in! Get back to you with experience.
As soon as you update the kernel on 12.04, you will be on 12.04.1
Why would you want to do that when you can just upgrade your existing install?
Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgradeHit this bug, but the workaround offered there didn't help me
That bug was reported 4 months ago and still has not been assigned to anyone
The problem is I'm now sitting with a machine in limbo. It still boots into 10.04, and everything seems to work, but apt is totally screwed...That bug was reported 4 months ago and still has not been assigned to anyone
I really didn't want to have to redo that particular machine from scratch

It's probably the better option at the end of the day, just backup the data or /home.
How did you do the upgrade? update-manager or do-release-upgrade?Oh well, the upgrade didn't work. Hit this bug, but the workaround offered there didn't help me
Can you do this, as requested in comment #16?
Code:
apport-cli -p update-manager -u 990740See Bigal's post (#32) in said thread.
Gee whiz, these Ubuntu okes are arrogant. The error pops up in the first week that the point upgrade is available and it gets marked as invalid...
Time to move on from Ubuntu and its derivatives.
In its current state the bug is invalid and the developers' time is better spent working on bugs that are reproducible, or that have enough information to work on.
It is not marked invalid permanently, as soon as someone can provide the requested information they can continue to work on it.
I would mark it as pending then, not invalid...
erm...
Sorry gingss, I'm being negative I know, but I'm sitting with the broken PC. I specifically waited for the point release before trying the upgrade, as this is what the Ubuntu boffs recommended.
I'm just guessing, but this might be precisely why it was marked invalid; to stop people who didn't use update-manager or do-release-upgrade from finding it in the default searches.
If you look in the bug now, you'll see the person who marked the bug invalid is still offering suggestions on how to fix your installation and how to send the informattion they are requesting.
