Javier there is a workaround, change the config file and start the update in
text mode, this worked around for me.
I've copied into first post steps.
** Description changed:
For some people the kde version of the release upgrader crashes with the
follow stacktrace on a edgy to feisty release upgrade:
Binary package hint: update-manager
Traceback (most recent call last):

+ TEMP WORKAROUND

+
+ It looks like Scott might be right, it's a KDE/qt issue. The way I
+ worked around this during my upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy is the
+ following:
+
+ 1. Run 'kdesu "adept_manager --version-upgrade"', attempt the upgrade, and
allow it to fail.
+ 2. Via a terminal, go to /tmp/kde-root/adept_manager(something).tmp-extract
+ 3. Edit DistUpgrade.cfg so that it only tries to do the upgrade in text mode
since python can't load the libs for GTK, and QT has the memory issue
+ 4. Save file
+ 5. Run (as root) dist-upgrade.py
