Server upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 fails during 'python-setuptools'

[Daniel Hackney]

Binary package hint: update-manager

I was upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10 server install when the error occurred. It
looks like a different case than bug #309955. Here is the text before the crash.

I have attached the output to the console.

There doesn't seem to be a way to attach multiple files at once.
