Grzegorz,

thank you for the bug report. To find the source of the problem a bit more information is needed.

Which upgrade method did you use, the network upgrade as described on this page http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading ?
If it was the network upgrade it would help if you can provide the log files from the failed upgrade. These can be found in /var/log/dist-upgrade.

thanks,
Richard

Hi Richard,
this is my full main.log. Today I upgraded system in console, and it's working. But still i don't know why in KDE I couldn't made it. I tried upgrade by Ark.
Thanks for help.
Grzegorz

PS. Sorry if something is wrong in my english :)

Sorry not Ark but Adept I don't know what i'm thinking about ;)

[Richard Birnie (rbirnie-deactivatedaccount)]

Grzegorz,

Thanks for supplying the log. That will help track down the issue.

[Richard Birnie (rbirnie-deactivatedaccount)]

This seems to be a problem with adept_updater handling of unicode. Bug 107779 and duplicates report similar errors all to do with handling of unicode characters. Marking this bug as a duplicate of 107779 and setting status to confirmed.

thanks,
Richard
