Bug Description

Hi,

I was updating my system (I already was on Quantal) using update-manager, and I was told the following message:
« Can't install 'ubuntu-desktop'
« It was impossible to install a required package. Please report this as a bug using 'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core' in a terminal. »
So I typed the requested command… and here I am ☺
Hoping it can help,
Martin.

There seems to have been an inconsistency in the archive on October 1, 2012 . Were you able to update after that date?

Hi,
That may indeed just be that: I didn’t this error again after that time. Thanks!
Shall I close the bug?
