Ubuntu 13.10 to 14.04 upgrade failed due to python3 rtupdate file

[fuzzyBSc]

When upgrading from 13.10 to 14.04 today I had the rtupdate processing fail twice, once on the "onboard" package and once on an ubuntuone package. In both cases the rtupdate file asked dpkg to list the contents of the packages, which were not installed at the time of the query. As a result the postinstall script failed and caused the upgrade process to abort.

I was able to complete the upgrade through the following procedure:
* Install the onboard package to work around that problem
* Remove the ubuntuone rtupdate file found in /usr/share/python3/runtime.d (the package is no longer installable)
* Run apt-get -f install and apt-get dist-upgrade to complete the upgrade.
