Binary package hint: update-manager

Updating from 704 to 710 overnight. Simple backup was scheduled to run at 2am, could that be related?

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Could you please add the log files from '/var/log/dist-upgrade/' to this bugreport as attachments to your bug report? Thanks in advance.

[Everett Lumpkin (e2006)]

Here are the files. There was a tzdata pending update that I ignored when I started the upgrade.

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

The upgrade failure was caused by tzdata

Preconfiguring packages ...
tzdata failed to preconfigure, with exit status 10

Is it still an issue ? Thanks in advance.

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

I'm closing this report because this has been fixed in Hardy.

Thanks for your time and don't hesitate to submit any new bug.

[Everett Lumpkin (e2006)]

No. As far as I know it is now fixed.
