Upgrading Dapper Server to Hardy Server crashes

[diqrtvpe]

My upgrade from Dapper Server to Hardy Server went fairly smoothly until, partway through the installation phase, I hit this error message:

(gconftool-2:21975): GConf-CRITICAL **: Failed to load file "/var/lib/gconf/defaults/%gconf-tree-dz.xml": Error on line 444 char 34: Invalid UTF-8 encoded text - not valid ' </entry>

The error was fatal, and the upgrade halted. There are now a number of configuration files, etc, which are no longer present or readable, making using the computer difficult.

Hardy has seen the end of its life and is no longer receiving any updates. Marking the Hardy task for this ticket as "Won't Fix".
