OK. I seem to have created the bug at least. Brief summary:

* when the point release of precise came out, I tried to upgrade a machine running lucid (fully updated)

* I'm afraid I don't remember the exact sequence of commands I used but there's a mail thread starting at https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2012-August/263204.html that describes what I thought I did (I've been on holiday for a week). In particular, I'm not sure whether I ran any other commands before do-release-upgrade

* I've tried various commands listed in the other bug, but they've all failed. I'll attach the output from those commands and all the logs I listed in the email thread as separate attachments.

At this point, I'd like to discover a way to nurse the system back to health. I'd also like to contribute whatever I can to solving the issue so it doesn't bite more people.
