Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
I ran the standard distribution upgrade, to upgrade from a fairly standard Gutsy Gibbon to Hardy Heron. The download went fine, but installation failed on the packages gnome-applets & then ubuntu-desktop. The upgrade finally aborted & said to report this bug, and that it would run a recovery (dpkg --configure -a).
Not sure whether the system will be usable after a restart.
Attaching the log files from /var/log/
This is a duplicate of Bug 225808, which I just filed directly through the launchpad site. This one is from "report a problem" in the distribution upgrade help menu, in case there's useful additional information included in this method.
(Sorry, I've never submitted an ubuntu bug before. That's a good thing!)

dangit i just noticed that it defaulted to reporting the bug against firefox-3.0. It should be filed against dist-upgrade instead.
