installArchives() failed

[Charles Grinter]

14.10 distribution upgrade reported an error during commit.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[skierpage (skierpage)]

Happened to me upgrading Kubuntu 10.04 to 10.10 following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UtopicUpgrades/Kubuntu.

"A problem occurred during the clean-up."

This happened after another problem in the Cleaning up phase "Cound not install 'syslinux-themes-debian'", for which I filed bug #1385791 . Despite these errors, it looks like install was OK, it's at "Restart the system to complete the upgrade"
