Crashes the whole upgrade from Karmic to Lucid

[Jens Berke]

Binary package hint: smart-notifier

When upgrading from Karmic to Lucid the smart-notifier package breaks the complete upgrading process and leaves the system in an inconsistent state.

To reproduce:
* have smart-notifier (0.28-1.1ubuntu2) installed in 9.10
* start upgrading Ubuntu from 9.10 to 10.04
* late in the upgrading process, when the smart-notifier package is going to be configured, the whole GNOME session is killed suddenly and you're thrown back to the GDM login screen
* the upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 remains unfinished

I can reproduce this behaviour on two completely different machines (laptop and desktop pc, both with Ubuntu i386 desktop versions installed)

I can also reproduce this on a freshly installed 10.04, which was not upgraded from 9.10: just install smart-notifier and the GNOME session will be killed.
