Bug Description
Binary package hint: lvm2
I upgraded from Karmic to Lucid (alpha).
During the upgrading process, about 4 minutes left to go, Ubuntu went into low graphics mode. The installation seemed to continue so I waited for hdd activity to settle before rebooting.
There still were some partial upgrades that had to be run, so I tried to do that, but it began to fail when only the following packages were left to update:
dmsetup, gparted, gvfs, libgda0, libjpeg-progs, parted
I solved that with synaptic, but had to use a different succession of steps than update-manager wanted to use.
First, I deleted dmsetup. Then gparted needed to be upgraded, thus triggering gvfs (and possibly removing libgda0 since it's nowhere to be found after that). Libjpeg-progs can be removed and parted updated in the same round (parted update is selected by gparted).
After doing that, I was able to update dmsetup without it wanting to remove half the system (well not quantitatively but it wants to remove important basic packages).
So update-manager should probably change the order in which those programs are updated.
The problem might've been triggered because of the problems with the dist-upgrade in round 1, but might also be applicable during that.

Same problem wih dmsetup. I had to remove dmsetup (and dmraid & kpartx which depends of dmsetup), update parted (that remove devicekits-disk and libparted1.8-12 which I guess is normal because they are no longer in the repository) and after that and everything was update I reinstall dmsetup and dmraid and kpartx.
