It may well require sudo rights to actually perform an upgrade but it
doesn't need them to check if an upgrade is being served. In this
case, it spits a socket exception out, which is a bug if nothing else.
Even so, a 'do-upgrade-release' on my machine, su'd or not doesn't
throw an exception - just tells me that there's no upgrade available
from my 12.04 installation.
As of typing, I've not searched to see if there are any known bugs in
the script released with 11.10... I'd have thought that if this were a
regular occurrence then it would be patched out by now.

I've tried the commands; "sudo apt-get update -d" is now running and "sudo do-release-upgrade -d" stopped running because of a conflict with apt-get update -d. *Will report back when I have results.

I don't know what the hell I did, but after running the commands sequentially, this System 76 machine is EVIDENTLY ready to do an upgrade. *I'll let everyone know the result in the morning!

The apt-get update may well have sorted out any issues in your
/etc/apt/sources.list to specify correct servers and corrected
whatever was causing the exception to be thrown in the upgrade script.
This was why I wanted to see your sources.lost file - to get an
eyeball on which machine you were trying to upgrade from.
Fingers crossed it all goes smoothly for you.

I'm typing this from a different machine; the System 76 machine was busy until late this morning with the download (the download bitrate is four times the dialup bitrate).* The machine is unpacking files; I don't know how long the current process will take.* I'm hopeful that everything will work out.

I'm glad, but, if you don't mind, which of the two suggestions I gave
did you some good? Was it the suggestion to try using sudo to preface
your command or was it issuing <Ctrl-C> to recover your prompt?
The archives would like to know.

It's because upgrades to the system need administrator privileges.
