Looks good there. How are you connecting to the internet? At home, work, public wifi etc?

What is the output of:

Code: [Select]
wget -qnv -t2 -T8 --ignore-length --max-redirect=1  --spider http://repo.linuxliteos.com/linuxlite/db/version

Open a terminal, do:

Code: [Select]
sudo leafpad /usr/bin/lite-upgrade-series4
replace Line 198 with:

Code: [Select]
curl -sk google.com
save. Try Upgrading now.

I don't understand why you are having so much trouble with this. Revert your changes back and try upgrading on public WiFi or better still, friends or families house.

Line 198 - Same as an above command:

Code: [Select]
wget -qnv -t2 -T8 --ignore-length --max-redirect=1  --spider http://repo.linuxliteos.com/linuxlite/db/version

But either way the Curl or Wget commands are checking the connection to the internet...


Couple other things to be aware of...
 - Make sure updates are installed prior to upgrade.
 - Make sure you're not trying to upgrade from a BETA version..


Lastly, and I'm not 100% on this -- but what has been recently installed?? -- I'm seeing Cosmic (Cuttlefish) in your output, if not mistaken that's 18.10.. Where LL 4.0/4.2 is based on 18.04 Bionic (Beaver)

@firenice03  is right, at some point you've added the Cosmic repos, this is very bad. Do a fresh install of 4.2, this will save everyone a lot of time.
