I tried recreating the initial bug both with and without setting RELEASE_UPRADER_ALLOW_THIRD_PARTY and was unsuccessful in receiving the crash described.

[Thomas Reusch (reusch)]

I did "do-release-upgrade -p" with only the internal mirror and thank you all, it worked like a charm!
No crash and no manual completion at the and. :-)

(Sorry for the delay, we only have few lucid lynx left)
