Public bug reported:

update-manager hung during a dkms module installation because /tmp was
full. that was caused by a full / (root-) directory so that tmp had been
mounted on overflow (as here:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/34535). When I had
started the distribution upgrade I made sure there was enough space on
/. I did not check /tmp however (which is normally on the same partition
as /). update-manager should recognize this situation and not start a
distribution upgrade when /tmp is mounted on overflow. this happened
during an upgrade from jaunty to karmic.
