Authentication error while upgrading to 6.0

Hi there,
I get an error while trying to upgrade from 5.5 to 6.0:
"Authenticating the upgrade failed. There may be a problem with the
network or with the server."
I've done an apt-get update and apt-get upgrade, and
removed /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch. I'm using the
fr.archive.trisquel.info mirror.
How can I upgrade to 6.0?

First there were bugs against it at one point and I'm not sure of the status of all of them. Last I heard people were reporting success if they got to the latest 5.5 maintenance first.
So burn a 6.0 install CD in case things go pear shaped.
Do
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
Backup your system
Backup your system
Backup your system. I've told you three times.
Then run a 'sandbox' upgrade to be confident a real upgrade is likely to go properly
$ sudo do-release-upgrade -s
If all is well do the actual upgrade with a
$ sudo do-release-upgrade
If it does go pear shaped, and you have a default Trisquel install disk layout then the CD you made can be used to load Trisquel 6.0 on the root / partition using a 'Something Else' disk install. The big partition you will see shouldn't be formatted but assigned to mount as /home .

Why is it that this should work but the update-manager doesn't work?

Where can I get help with this problem?

I recommended it because:
It is a known good process to me. It worked for me on my machines during beta even when others were reporting problems
It is possible for Internet file transfers to glitch in transmission in ways that TCP/IP won't detect but the .deb package tools will. It could simply be that you need to try again. You haven't evidenced that you've retried or done any network diagnostics to prove the message wrong.
Lastly you have not said and may not know at what stage in the upgrade it barfed. The command line version issues plenty of messages which will provide better diagnostics if it still fails. I should have, perhaps, told you to use the 'script' command first to record it all.
