[tlue]

step "Installing the upgrades" brings up error window with "Could not install the upgrades. The upgrade has aborted. Your system could be in an unusable state. A recovery will run now (dpkg --configure -a)" and a button "Report Bug"

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Could you please add the log files from '/var/log/dist-upgrade/' to this bug report as separate attachments? Thanks in advance.

please find attached the zipped folder. There are some files missing as I got this errors when first copying folder to my home directory in order to zip them:

Could not read /var/log/dist-upgrade/20120430-0828/apt-term.log
same for 20111013-2349
and for 20110620-0008

opening those three files shows me empty files (using kate).

I finished my update to 12.04 by doing the following after getting this error:

sudo apt-get remove kmail
sudo apt-get remove knode

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
repeated the above two steps some few times until no errors came up any more. At some stage I remembered I had the unofficial ppa Kubuntu backports in my source list. At some point I also removed that source using a GUI tool (a GTK+ one I think, although not certain anymore) and it workes fine now and I enjoy 12.04.

Thanks for all the work!
