Question #76269 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/76269

Andre Mangan proposed the following answer:
You cannot upgrade from 8.04 to 9.04 without an intermediate upgrade to
8.10 first, as correctly stated by Alexei.  The problem with doing two
sequential upgrades is that errors can creep in which are difficult to
diagnose and fix.  These errors can be caused by something as simple as
a brief interruption to data transfer.

A better solution (if you feel compelled to upgrade) is to overwrite
your present installation with a netbook edition of Ubuntu 9.04 but if
you do that, no doubt you will want to upgrade again in October when the
next version of Ubuntu is due for release.

Yes, your software sources are different since you are not using the
standard Ubuntu installation but rather a specially adapted netbook
edition.

Ubuntu 8.04 is supported (on the desktop) until April, 2011 and will
continue to function well beyond that date.
