Could not install the upgrades
The upgrade aborts now. Your system could be in an unusable state. A recovery will run now (dpkg --configure -a).

Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bugreport.
installArchives() failed

Thanks for your bugreport.

Unfortunately the log did not capture what package caused the failure. Could you please attach /var/log/dpkg.log to this report?

thanks,
 Michael

Here's the dpkg file. However I tried continuing the upgrade manually using aptitude, so the list contains updates performed after the dist-upgrade failed.

A fix for the missing log:

Hi Marco,

Please do not do that. You cannot fix bugs in stable releases, thus
you should not close them, and remove the verification tags. We depend
on both the tags and correct bug states for keeping track of SRUs.

Thanks,

Martin

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

This is fixed in Feisty-updates.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Fixed in Hardy, too.
