fails to upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04

[Jarl]

Binary package hint: update-manager-core

After answering Yes to the ssh port question I got:

En alvorlig fejl opstod

Rapporter venligst dette som en fejl og inkluder filerne
/var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log og /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log i din
rapport. Opgraderingen er blevet afbrudt.
Din originale sources.list blev gemt i
/etc/apt/sources.list.distUpgrade.

The /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log does not exists.

I made an interesting observation:
$ diff -u /etc/apt/sources.list.distUpgrade /etc/apt/sources.list

So if it is true that what it says my original sources.list is stored in /etc/apt/sources.list.distUpgrade, then it was incorrect, however I believe that the do-release-upgrade script failed so early that /etc/apt/sources.list has not yet been replaced, and content of /etc/apt/sources.list.distUpgrade is actually leftover from previous upgrade...

This problem is completely reproducable....

So I did though I would do a `unset LANG` and then `sudo do-release-upgrade` to provide english error-messages, but then....

It no longer failed...

Even more interesting... I then did an abort of the upgrade, and see if I could reproduce it again with LANG set to danish... But then it was no longer possible to reproduce...

Sorry that the issue got unattended for a long time. Please feel free to reopen by marking the status as "new" if you see this in current versions of update-manager.
