server - Upgrading Ubuntu from local mirror



I need to upgrade from Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS using local repository (approx); Internet access is granted by a Web Proxy.



The problem is:





  • if I don't set proxy (so server can't reach Internet), it says:




# do-release-upgrade
Checking for a new Ubuntu release
Failed Upgrade tool signature
Failed Upgrade tool
Done downloading

Failed to fetch
Fetching the upgrade failed. There may be a network problem.



  • If I set proxy, it can't reach local repositories:




# export https_proxy="http://user:password@proxy.localdomain:8080"

# export http_proxy="http://user:password@proxy.localdomain:8080"
...
# do-release-upgrade
...
Err http://apt.localdomain precise/main Packages
503 Service Unavailable
Err http://apt.localdomain precise/restricted Packages

Any ideas?



I answer myself:





  • Setting no_proxy solve the problem:




export no_proxy="192.168.0.0/16,localdomain"


but warning is displayed:





WARNING: Failed to read mirror file

No valid mirror found

While scanning your repository information no mirror entry for the
upgrade was found. This can happen if you run a internal mirror or if
the mirror information is out of date.

Do you want to rewrite your 'sources.list' file anyway? If you choose
'Yes' here it will update all 'lucid' to 'precise' entries.

If you select 'No' the upgrade will cancel.
