Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
Just upgraded from Ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04 Beta 2 from a burned disc. I
selected the "Upgrade" option. During the installation process I was
prompted to select my time zone, create a new user account and name my
system. Suspicious of this, I created a user account with a different
name. The installation proceeded. Toward the end of the install it tried
to put my old, installed software back, but after running through every
application I was told that none of them could be installed.
Once the install was finished and the new system rebooted, the only user
account that existed was the new one that I created during the "upgrade"
process. Fortunately my old user folder still existed in the /home.
However, I'm not sure if the "upgrade" process would have
overwritten/deleted all of the files and preferences if I had used my
same user name during the upgrade process.
