tspc not installed during upgrade hardy -> intrepid

[Eric Towers]

Binary package hint: update-manager

The update manager, while performing an Kubuntu upgrade from hardy to intrepid, reported an error as follows:

Could not install '/var/cache/apt/archives/tspc_2.1.1-6.1ubuntu1_amd64.deb'
The upgrade will continue but the '/var/cache/apt/archives/tspc_2.1.1-6.1ubuntu1_amd64.deb' package may be in a not working state. Please consider submitting a bugreport about it.
subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

Being currently *in* a dist-upgrade, I am unable to use either 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Could you please attach the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade to this bug report?

This will greatly aid us in tracking down your problem.

/var/log/dist-uprgade/* attached as a tar archive using:

sudo tar -cvzf upgrade_logs.tgz /var/log/dist-upgrade/

Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to help.

Thank you. The cause of the failure is:
=====

Shutting down IPv6 tunnel: invoke-rc.d: initscript tspc, action "stop" failed.

dpkg - trying script from the new package instead ...
