Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
[apport] package update-manager failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: SystemError in cache.commit(): E:Sub-process if dpkg -s apt-listbugs | grep -q '^Status: .* ok installed'; then /usr/sbin/
The above was set as the summery for my bug report automatically, I should probably file another bug report on that alone, and I assume that the all of "debug information" is not attached.
I tried upgrading to Gutsy from feisty using update-manager and had to say "no" to apt-listbugs because it refused to let me continue if I chose yes. That caused the upgrade to fail and while no packages had been installed ( apt-listbugs stops things before that happens ) my sources.lst still pointed to Gutsy ( the change was not undone ). I then restored my sources.list so it was pointing back at Feisty, removed apt-listbugs and tried to upgrade again. This time I received an error that update-manager "Could not calculate the upgrade" so I am also, as I was directed, going to attach the contents of /var/log/
