Bug Description
I just tried to upgrade a Ubuntu Server 7.04 installation to 7.10
using the procedure documented in "Network upgrade for Ubuntu
servers (recommended)" at
<https:/
That is, I ran
sudo aptitude install update-manager-core
sudo do-release-upgrade
At the package configuration stage, there was a large number of
error messages which I am unable to reproduce in their entirety as
I ran the upgrade from the console, and don't know any way of
saving the contents of the console scrollback buffer short of manually
transcribing them. The last few messages, manually transcribed,
were:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of grub:
grub depends on volumeid; however:
Package volumeid is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing grub (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
dpkg: too many errors, stopping
dpkg: ../../src/
#
Before those, there were similar messages about "dependency
problems" in other packages.
I now appear to be left with a half upgraded system and no obvious way
to recover.
A similar incident was reported by another user in

Thank you for your bug report. This bug did not have a package associated with it, I have classified this bug as a bug in update-manager. Could you please add the log files from /var/log/ dist-upgrade/ to this bug report as attachments?
Thank you.
