After my previous problems I reinstalled Kubuntu 6.10 and attempted this update again following the instructions at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuDistUpgrade. This seemed to work fine until after step 10 no process started to do the update. I did see the following error in a console i had previously started adept_manager from to overcome a problem with kdesu though I had started it from the K-Menu for this process.
