Bug Description
Running a 12.04 Kubuntu system (which was originally set up as a 11.10 Ubuntu, then switched to KDE, then upgraded to 12.04). Ran "sudo do-release-upgrade -d" since the "update-manager -d" was failing (which is a documented known bug).
The release upgrader downloaded all packages and threw the following error:
Processing triggers for man-db ...
dpkg: error: parsing file '/var/lib/
mixed non-coinstallable and coinstallable package instances present
Error in function:
A fatal error occurred
