Here is the current status for this bug:
- a new version of the dist-upgrader is uploaded. it supports fetching of
selected backports from arbitrary sources.list fragments (e.g. dapper-backports)
- it will get and unpack those packages into a tempdir and modify
PATH,LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PYTHONPATH to make sure that the updated versions are
used
- it will re-exec itself once the update is fetched to support the new libraries
- it will still work with --cdrom, even if no updates are found on the cdrom if
a network is used
Still todo:
1. get the backports into the official dapper-backports
2. add the backports to the CD
3. make dist-upgrader look for the backports on CD first (to support upgrades
without network)
** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => In Progress

update-manager for edgy needs to upgrade dpkg/apt before calculating the
upgrade to support the new "breaks" - otherwise the upgrade may fail
