unable upgrade to ubuntu 13.04 from 12.10

I'm trying to upgrade by using this steps :





  1. Update the system via terminal ("sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade")

  2. Run "sudo update-manager -d" (where I hope the Update Manager should open up and tell you: New distribution release ’13.04‘ is available)



But when I did the 1st step from terminal, this happened:




>Fetched 489 kB in 49s (9,954 B/s)
>Reading package lists... Done

>Reading package lists... Done
>Building dependency tree
>Reading state information... Done
>You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
>The following packages have unmet dependencies:
>libc6 : Depends: libgcc1 but it is not installed
> Depends: tzdata but it is not installed
>E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.



But when I tried to run "apt-get -f install", I got:




>E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
>
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?


I'll really appreciate your suggestion, thanks.




Oh... I forgot to mention that I've tried that too... and the result was:
