upgrade-manager install failed

[Chris Vaisvil]

I am upgrading from a clean install of Gutsy to Hardy on a 4-gig USB flash drive.
Twice during install I received a popup box stating that the upgrade manager
could not be installed and that it may be in an unusable state consider
filling a bug report.

It is still upgrading some 10 hours later so I can't get to the system to drag out anymore information yet.

I used the command "sudo update-manager -d" in a Gutsy terminal to start this install

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

Hi, these are the files you wanted in a zip.

Thanks for your bugreport.

The error is in the python-central package, I will reassign:

86.deb) ...

This bug might be fixed already, but I would like to have confirmation on this.

Hi,

This looks a lot like bug #197160 (and also bug #196335),
which was fixed in python-central 0.5.61ubuntu1.

Thanks,

James

this was fixed in 0.5.62ubuntu1:

  * pkgprepare, pkginstall: Always use the default runtime as a last resort.

I don't get it....
"Always use the default runtime as a last
resort"

I tried to upgrade and lost the ability to communicate to the internet and
had no way to fix it.
