fetch-release-upgrade's Issues

Command line option ‘s’ [from -s] is not known.

I know this is an old, likely unmaintained script, but I thought I would mention that this fails under Ubuntu 14.10, apt 1.0.9.2ubuntu2:

bash fetch-release-upgrade.sh vivid
E: Command line option ‘s’ [from -s] is not known.
Calculating new packages, download will start soon
E: Handler silently failed

Here's my working version, in case anyone finds it useful:

#! /bin/bash

if [ -z "$1" ]; then
    echo "Usage: $0 new-release-codename"
    echo "Example: $0 saucy"
    exit 1
fi

NEW_CODENAME="$1"

. /etc/lsb-release

cat /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list \
    |grep -v "deb-src" |sed "s/$DISTRIB_CODENAME/$NEW_CODENAME/g" >sources.list

mkdir -p lists debs

APT_ARGS="-o Dir::Etc::SourceList=./sources.list \
    -o Dir::State::Lists=./lists
    -o Dir::Cache::archives=./debs
    -o Debug::NoLocking=1"

apt-get -o APT::Get::Simulate=1 $APT_ARGS update

echo "Calculating new packages, download will start soon"

apt-get --download-only --assume-yes $APT_ARGS dist-upgrade
