I agree the closure of this but (also because I don't like that I wrote the word "sucks" in the subject). Anyway the problem is still there: the update-manager shouldn't have any bind to libraries that will be updated during the update process. If - for any reason (*) - the update hangs, you won't be able to to restart it. It happened to me once.
(*) you can just unplug the power-cord, or accidentally close the window... or whatever else. For instance, you can stop the update when python was no completely updated (and it easy to happen, because, as I remember packages are not installed one by one, but first, the apt configure all togheter and than install them ...) -- Release upgrade procedure "sucks" (from Gutsy to Hardy) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223542 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
