Upgrade to 7.10 fails in adept

[saxy]

Binary package hint: update-manager

Hi there,

I started Dist-Upgrade in Adept, confirmed all needed and it starts downloading
packages. A view minutes later this crash report came up. I tried serverel times
resulting in the same report again ( as shown below ).

Please fix this urgently !!!

Have you tried using update-manager instead of adept?
