[update-manager] upgrade dapper server > heron beta server fails

[Dieter Komendera]

Binary package hint: update-manager

I did a
aptitude install update-manager-core
followed by a
do-release-upgrade --devel-release
---------
the upgrade failed with this output
Processing triggers for libc6 ...
ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-26-amd64-server
W: udev hook script requires at least kernel version 2.6.17
W: not generating requested initramfs for kernel 2.6.15-26-amd64-server

Could not install the upgrades

The upgrade aborts now. Your system could be in an unusable state. A
recovery will run now (dpkg --configure -a).

Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and
include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bugreport.
installArchives() failed

/etc/fstab.pre-uuid already exists
remove this file before running the script again
---------

I'll attach the log files to this bug in a zip file.

I forgot: I did a system update with apt-get update && apt-get upgrade before I ran the dist-upgrade, so all packages were up-to-date.
