trying to upgrade a clean xubuntu installation to karmic by calling "update-manager", the same crash happens here

trying to call "apt-get -d dist-upgrade" after the crash leads to the same error after some packages have been downloaded

some fix was made in apt for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/385144

but this fix was not applied to jaunty, seemingly

Ernst, do you know if this is still an issue that needs to be resolved for Jaunty?
