Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
Same problem met on 3 different machines :
During upgrade from Kubuntu Hardy to Intrepid, upgrade manager silently
crashes (its window disappears, "ps" shows it doesn't run anymore) and
the machine is left is a severely incoherent, half-upgraded, unbootable
state.
Only solution if the finish the upgrade manually using a combination of
successive "dpkg --configure -a", "aptitude upgrade" and "aptitude
install", which shows that exists a serious dependancy problem involving
Amarok.
On 4 machines I upgraded from Hardy to Intrepid, 3 failed this way, only
one went thru smoothly and the one that went thru smoothly had both
Kubuntu and Ubuntu desktops installed. The 3 ones having only Kubuntu
desktop crashed in the described manner.
(Actually the one that went thru OK was the dirtiest machine I had, that
had been thru severeal dist-upgrades over the years, the 3 that crashed
had a "clean" Kubuntu Hardy install before the upgrade...)
