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.

[Mandibela (alien)]

Sure.

I wasn't around the computer when I left it to upgrade.

Im seem to be having the same issue. I was looking around to see if there was something I missed in the synaptic pakage manger after i tried to perform the upgrade but i must not be looking hard enough.
 was trying to update Ubuntu Studio 7.10 to the latest distro release 8.04.

attached is my dist-upgrade files - Thanks in advance for any help.

[Mandibela (alien)]

Oh yeah, me too. Namely updating Ubuntu Studio 7.10 to 8.04. I had to
remove audacious, audacious-plugins and audacious-plugins-extra to
get it to work at all. After dist-upgrade I did a reinstall of
audacious (whitout the -extra). Now they dont work or something, I
really dont know much anymore about these packages.. This is getting
pretty confusing, and I had lots of trouble getting them off my
machine in the first place.

the second error it's 221699 issue

[cokacola (chabot-paul)]

apt-get remove audacious-plugins-extras
then
apt-get dist-upgrade

upgrade is now running for me.

[Richard Green (rtg-aapsc)]

I did `apt-get remove audacious-plugins`, which also forced the removal of
audacious and ubuntustudio-audio. I then ran `do-release-upgrade`, which
completed the upgrade process. I then did `apt-get install
ubuntustudio-audio`, which pulled in audacious and about a dozen other
packages.
   So now I have a functioning hardy system, I think. My broadcom wifi
stopped working, so I re-ran the fwcutter script, or actually, the
restricted-drivers widget prompted me and ran it for me.
   However, on first boot, a message popped up about 'can't load human
theme', and now I have a plain black wallpaper, which I don't mind since
I'm an old text terminal kinda guy, anyway.

[Madhukar Bhat (madhukarbhat)]

For the Ubuntu Studio Gutsy -> Hardy upgrade failure, I just had to do:
    apt-get remove audacious-plugins-extras
And then retry the upgrade through the DVD. Worked flawlessly after removing
the package.

For the 'can't load human theme' problem, I solved it by choosing the login
screen via gdmsetup:
   sudo gdmsetup
This will bring up the GDM Setup screen, where you can choose the Ubuntu
Studio Login. Look at the post by Yuki at
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=473971&highlight=human.xml. Though
it is for Fiesty, the basic reason behind the issue and the fix for it is
the same.
