Bug Description

Happened during Natty->Oneiric upgrade on an old HP 32-bit laptop. I replaced all "natty" by "oneiric" in /etc/apt/sources.list, ran "sudo apt-get update", and during "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" after download and removing the packages scheduled for removal, in the beginning of the unpacking part, the bug report popped up.
