I had the same problem during upgrade to the RC: I confirmed to remove some packages and pretty much immediately afterwards the update manager(kde) hung up reproducibly. I have 512 RAM and 768 Swap. I tried upgrading once more, it crashed at the same spot.
Then I used apt-get dist-upgrade which seemed to pretty much install everything. But now I still get the message: An upgrade for your system is available. When I now run the update-manager it tells me it needs to remove packages. After I confirm this, it tells me that my distribution is already up to date. But e.g. compiz was not activated or even installed. My memory error is the following: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- updateStatus: Systemaktualisierung wird durchgeführt Error in sys.excepthook: Traceback
