Bug Description
TEST CASE:
This bug is only triggered on e.g. LDAP systems. So we need a regression test to ensure that nothing breaks with it from the
SRU testers:
1. enabled karmic-proposed
2. setup a proxy
3. run update-manager -d
4. upgrade to lucid
5. verify that nothing breaks
- If you have a setup with external authentication, please test the fix in luicd-proposed.
- If you do not have a setup with external authentication, add a non-existent user as 1rst member of the admin group. The /etc/group file must have an entry looking like:
admin:x:
**WARNING** do not remove your admin user name from the admin group.

Binary package hint: update-manager
I tried to upgrade my laptop (Acer WLMi5003), running Ubuntu 9.10 to Ubuntu 10.10. I tried to this two times but both times upgrade fails with following information:
_______
Could not install the upgrades
The upgrade is now aborted. Your system could be in an unusable state. A recovery will run now (dpkg --configure -a).
Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/
