Bug Description
I tried to upgrade a machine from 10.04 to 12.04. It failed with symptoms similar to those described in
https:/
but following guidance there, I am opening my own report to avoid mixing symptoms of possibly different bugs. I'm new to the whole launchpad process so please be gentle. I tried to use ubuntu-bug to report the bug, but it failed, so I'm reporting manually:
$ ubuntu-bug update-manager
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/
from apport import unicode_gettext as _
File "/usr/lib/
from apport.report import Report
File "/usr/lib/
ImportError: No module named problem_report
More in the next post if this works ...

OK. I seem to have created the bug at least. Brief summary:
* when the point release of precise came out, I tried to upgrade a machine running lucid (fully updated)
* I'm afraid I don't remember the exact sequence of commands I used but there's a mail thread starting at https:/ /lists. ubuntu. com/archives/ ubuntu- users/2012- August/ 263204. html that describes what I thought I did (I've been on holiday for a week). In particular, I'm not sure whether I ran any other commands before do-release-upgrade
* I've tried various commands listed in the other bug, but they've all failed. I'll attach the output from those commands and all the logs I listed in the email thread as separate attachments.
At this point, I'd like to discover a way to nurse the system back to health. I'd also like to contribute whatever I can to solving the issue so it doesn't bite more people.
