Bug Description
upgrading 14.04 to 16.04 ran a test run on similar machine yesterday all went OK
couldn't upgrade using "upgrade-manager -d" left off the "-d" and it started.
two and one half hours later it finished with errors.
"updmap.sys failed"
send file "/tmp/updmap-
That file doesn't exist.
also "check for files with extensions dpkg-dist and .ucf-dist".
Grub updates reported lots of "unsupported" stuff.
Finshed upgrade with a window menu with option in red with an "OK" hit return.
didn't restart, checked firefox and it worked so I tried to restart from toolbar.
Didn't work, used shutdown from same menu, didn't work. Shortcut "ALT+F12" did but
took a long time.
the locate report is below:
To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>".
See "man sudo_root" for details.
