Bug Description

I have Ubuntu 12.04.01 Precise Pangolin for amd64
At boot, update-manager starts and show "Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal is available. Start migration."
I start do-release-upgrade, but it crashed at "Evaluation of changes".
do-release-upgrade is closed, and update-manager starts.
It crashed at update check and show 1608 updates available, and crashes. It shows :
---------
Impossible d'installer certaines mises à jour

Exécutez une mise à niveau partielle pour installer autant de mises à jour que possible.
Ceci peut être dû à une mise à niveau précédente qui n'a pas été terminée.

| Mise à niveau partielle | | Fermer |

I press the "partial migration" button, but the migration crashed and shows :
---------
Impossible d'évaluer la mise à niveau

Un problème irrémédiable est survenu lors de l'évaluation de la mise à niveau :
E:Impossible de corriger les problèmes, des paquets défectueux sont en mode "garder en l'état"

Cela peut-être du à un paquet logiciel non officiel, non fourni par Ubuntu.

Cela ressemble fort à un problème temporaire. Veuillez réessayer plus tard.
