Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

During the upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 close to end when most packages had been installed but before the system reboot the upgrade failed and recommended opening a bug and sending the upgrade logs.

It doesn't appear to be related to the firefox 3.0 related upgrade error already reported.

ok I've done the steps for the GCC issue, is there is way to force upgrade-manager to install 8.04, it now thinks that 8.04 is installed and wont take any further action.
