I seem to have run into some brain damage on my end but in doing so
recognized that some slightly more descriptive documentation could help
avoid this for other users.  I am a long time Debian user and have
recently decided to try out Kubuntu for a couple reasons I wont go into
here, leave it to say I know my way around.

I found directions at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuDistUpgrade and
read all the way through them before starting.  The *Important:* note at
the bottom actually threw me off.  I read it as meaning that Adept would
have to be quit after Adept had started Fetching Updates, understandably
a boneheaded move now that the upgrade failed in a variety of ways but
perhaps not an uncommon mistake.  As such I would propose that the
*Important:* message be changed from:

Important: there is a bug in the tool, you need to quit Adept after it
has started.

to:

Important: there is a bug in the dist-upgrade tool, you need to quit
Adept after the dist-upgrade tool has started.

Perhaps this is exact to the point of being redundant but it would have
saved me trouble within my first 24 hours of running Ubuntu.
