[Jaunty] ca-certificates failure causes dist-upgrade to fail

[solarcide]

uring the dist upgrade from Ubuntu 8.10 release to the Alpha 1 of Jaunty, the upgrade failed due to a failure to install the ca-certificates package. I can't include more details because the dpkg update completed the "upgrade with errors" and closed my terminal sessions.

Method to upgrade:
1) open terminal
2) sudo update-manager -d
3) give credentials
4) follow on-screen prompts for:
* disabling 3rd party repos
* downloading packages
* performing upgrade
5) complete upgrade with errors

SUbsequent upgrade attempt using steps 1-3 results in:
* No re-attempt to upgrade ca-certificates
* 17 updates (11/23/2008 10:30 a EST)

Subsequent non-UI method of upgrading (to resolve ca-certificates issue):
0) sudo apt-get autoremove
1) sudo apt-get update
2) sudo apt-get upgrade
3) sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
None of the above (1-3) reported any package problems with ca-certificates.

So, perhaps, even though the error reported that the system may be in an unuseable state, the ca-certificates problem is non-serious. I'll leave that to you to decide.
