When I want to upgrade the backtrack linux to ubuntu 14.04 the following errror occurs:

(Reading database ... 218798 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace hostname 3.03ubuntu1 (using .../hostname_3.15ubuntu1_amd64.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement hostname ...
dpkg-deb: file `/var/cache/apt/archives/hostname_3.15ubuntu1_amd64.deb' contains ununderstood data member data.tar.xz     , giving up
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/hostname_3.15ubuntu1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 subprocess dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/hostname_3.15ubuntu1_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

How can I fix it? Note: I copied the ubuntu repos to bactrack

You can't upgrade Kali(backtracks' new name) to Ubuntu. Kali is Debian Testing based.
