Step 1
change your repositories:
$ sudo sed -e 's/\sfeisty/ gutsy/g' -i /etc/apt/sources.list
Step 2
open synaptic:
$ sudo synaptic &
Step 3
Click ‘Reload’ button –> Click ‘Mark All Upgrades’ –> Click ‘Apply’
Notes
- This is a shorter method than first upgrading Feisty and then upgrading Feisty to Gutsy as given here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading
And the three steps mentioned above work (I have tried).
- The Gutsy interface is much better. See here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/710tour. (latest gnome, gdm, kdm, thunderbird-2, etc. )
- Above procedure can also be tried to upgrade from ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake) to 7.10. For that, step 1 would be:
$ sudo sed -e 's/\sdapper/ gutsy/g' -i /etc/apt/sources.list

First : This comment box is too below the post. I was thinking that may be you removed comment box
. I guess you would like to take care of it.
Secondly : Does your synaptic works under proxy? I tried but it didn’t work. Anyways, I installed gutsy with CD.
