Upgrade installer aborts unexpectedly

[mbrundle]

Binary package hint: update-manager

Upgrading from edgy to feisty using GUI; get the following error message when the installer has nearly completed the "Fetching and installing the updates" stage:

Setting up update-notifier (0.56.3) ...
Setting up ubuntu-desktop (1.43) ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
 sun-java5-doc
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "logging/__init__.py", line 740, in emit
  File "logging/__init__.py", line 718, in flush
IOError: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor

A popup box appears:
"Could not install the updates
The upgrade aborts now. Your system could be in an unusable state. A recovery will ruun now (dpkg --configure -a)."

The java issue appeared earlier when I skipped downloading the latest javadocs, but the installation didn't seem to mind. Not sure if the last few lines are related to this, or indicative of another issue.

Running Ubuntu on a Dell Latitude D820, 2gigs RAM, with 30gigs HDD allocated (and only 9gig used). Doesn't appear to be a resource problem.

Cleared the pop-up box, and installation seemed to proceed again. Installer asked for java docs again - this time I downloaded them and put them in /tmp as requested. When it finished, it hung up. I switched to a terminal window, rebooted and it seems to have worked okay. Running lsb_release -a seems to indicate 7.04 is now installed.
