Thanks for the quick reply Gary.<br>
I tried all the suggestions and still get:<br>
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to
correct the problem.<br>
<br>
which doesn't work, failing with the same error.<br>
<br>
I have installed 8.04 on another old powerbook and it works great
though somewhat slow. I'm going to copy my sources.list from that clean
install and copy that to my TiBook.<br>
I didn't do updates from version to version because PPC started having
sound and other issues that were eventually resolved in 8.04, and I do
have sound. when I discovered that I could do a LTS to LTS upgrade I
was ecstatic because I wouldn't have to do a clean install and lose all
my customization which is pretty extensive.<br>
I'll keep plugging away!<br>
Any additional suggestions are greatly appreciated.<br>
I do feel somewhat unpopular w/ PPC but my laptop is still great and I
can't justify scrapping it!<br>
I'll post any improvements.<br>
Oh, it doesn't seem to be an arch dependent problem from the bits of
info I can find.<br>

Make sure you have only hardy sources in /etc/apt/sources.list and
maybe you can finish the upgrade by hand:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Sometimes:
sudo apt-get -f install
can cause a failed upgrade to semi-complete, and that should be
followed up with:
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
until nothing is upgraded or installed.
You might then follow up by installing the hardy ubuntu-desktop
package (if you desire to have a GNOME desktop system):
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
I have found with release upgrades that it is easier to achieve
success by going from one release to the next (don't skip releases),
but I heard that it should be possible to jump between LTS releases.
This is the first I heard of someone trying that. Perhaps it would
have worked if you were using a more popular architecture due to
being more thoroughly tested or whatnot (i386 or amd64 versus
powerpc).
