Bug Description
I was doing a normal update in Lucid on a computer that had not been updated in the last couple of weeks. When the update finished I found I had unknowingly upgraded to Maverick. Fortunately this happened on a computer that just runs BOINC and not on one of my main computers. At any rate when the update finished the crash symbol was displayed and this is the result.
1 About Ubuntu shows the system as being 10.04 Lucid. Software sources is showing Maverick. Sysinfo crashes.
2 Since I really don't know what happened I have no idea what package is creating the problem
3 I expected an update of Lucid.
4 I wound up with an upgrade to Maverick.
