Bug Description
The python script (and graphical interface) will hang when dpkg --configure (most likely, I was running dpkg --configure -a afterward) starts asking questions on how to proceed with changed config files. When there are a number of files that need to be updated, and the user has edited or changed some of them, even just a single one can cause the installer to completely hang. The button "Show Terminal" is or becomes unresponsive.
After doing manual dpkg --configure -a, and rerunning the upgrader, it will say
"Could not run the upgrade tool." (window title) --> "Could not run the upgrade tool. This is most likely a bug in the upgrade tool. Please report it as a bug using the command 'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-

For good measure: this was an upgrade from KUBUNTU 14.10 Utopic Unicorn.
The output of apt-cache policy ubuntu-

But this is obviously after the upgrade. The system prior to upgrade was a regular 14.10 with a few minor tweaks.
There is another error that popped up, it may be coming from muon-upgrader or that python thing at the same time as the other error (dialog) (popup) and that is that "Verifying the upgrade failed. There may be a problem with the network or with the server."
(It appears as though after the dpkg --configure -a, my install is complete, ie. I have upgraded to Vivid. I have not rebooted yet though.)

I started this upgrade from Muon Updater with the "Upgrade" button in the top right. After restarting that program, I am prompted with a KWallet migrate. Typically, it also currently wants me to upgrade a package for a third party internet browser. IT STILL SAYS a new version of my system is available, and I get the "Welcome to the Ubuntu 'Vivid Vervet' development release" release notes screen.
I still have not rebooted. will see next.
