[Wily] do-release-upgrade crashes when enough free space in boot

[Karl Hegbloom]

I am using the tux on ice kernel from a ppa. When I tried to upgrade to 15.10, it crashed in the background, leaving the gtk3 dialog sitting there doing nothing. I had run "sudo update-manager -c" from a terminal command line, and so after waiting a long time, watching the CPU level, then checking with htop, I could see that it wasn't doing anything but waiting for the now-crashed do-release-upgrade to finish or something. I killed it with Ctrl-c. It left the apt sources.list configuration in the modified state.

I used the command line to move the sources.list.distUpgrade and sources.list.d/*.distUpgrade back into place, ran apt-get update, and then used aptitude to install a stock Ubuntu kernel. Now the release upgrader works fine... but failed since I had not enough room in /boot -- good job on the error recovery there. Nice. I've cleaned out the old kernel image packages, and am about to run the release upgrade again.

Sorry for the duplicate bug submission. The first one was automatic.

No, that is incorrect. It does fine, and already has boot partition space
check with proper recovery and upgrade abort. But it crashed when I had
kernel from ppa installed. Look at the backtrace.
