Binary package hint: update-manager

During a do-release-upgrade from a Karmic system to lucid (release), do-release-upgrade aborted with the following error:

A fatal error occurred

Please report this as a bug and include the files
/var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log and /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log in
your report. The upgrade is now aborted.
Your original sources.list was saved in
/etc/apt/sources.list.distUpgrade.

I've attached the full scrollback from my terminal as well as the requested files and the output of a "dpkg --get-selections".

Despite the Python exception, the upgrade appears to have completed fine (at least as far as apt is concerned).

What is the output of:
$ ls -l /tmp/tmp6njyKc

?
Do you run anything like tmp reaper or any other software that agressively cleans /tmp ?

[Craig Ringer (ringerc)]

/tmp/tmp6njyKc doesn't exist, as per the error message. Otherwise I would've attached it ;-)

I do not run any aggressive temp-cleaning code. It's a really bog-standard Ubuntu install (recently clean-installed with Karmic on brand new disks, yesterday upgraded to Lucid), which is why this is so surprising. It's just running Bacula and PostgreSQL so it has no particularly interesting configuration or services.
