Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

Update-manager tries to perform a partial upgrade, then fails on not being able to determine which meta-package is installed (ubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop etc.) After displaying that message, pressing close results in the application locking up and crashing a little while later.
