unity not started, distribution upgrade to quantal

[Hans Ginzel]

The updatemanager has frozen in the phase "Cleaning up" without window manager (unity) while upgrading to 12.10. I have tried manually star unity (unity --replace). It has crashed. See attached log and strace.

Due to the nature of the bug and quantal reached end of life few months ago, I'm closing this bug report. Please reopen it if you think it's better to keep it open.
