upgrader crashed (Feisty to Gutsy)

[mikowals]

running kdesu "adept_manager --version-upgrade" eventually crashes with following output. Log files attached.

Thanks for your bugreport.

This problem should be fixed in the current version of the release-upgrader. Please report if it is not fixed for you.

Thanks,
 Michael

It is not fixed for me.

Here's the error I get when I run the upgrader from the command line:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/tmp/kde-root/adept_managerCQBq9b.tmp-extract/dist-upgrade.py", line 59, in <module>
    app.run()
  File "/tmp/kde-root/adept_managerCQBq9b.tmp-extract/DistUpgradeControler.py", line 1346, in run

    os.execve(sys.argv[0],args, os.environ)
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied

The command line I used was

sudo python /tmp/kde-root/adept_managerCQBq9b.tmp-extract/dist-upgrade.py --frontend DistUpgradeViewKDE

which was copied from a 'ps' while the upgrader was running from the 'kdesu "adept_manager --version-upgrade"' command.
