Gusty upgrade: update-manager -d fails (Gutsy beta), downloads pkgs, skips over installing them and asks to reboot

[Michael Milligan]

Binary package hint: update-manager

I blindly rebooted the first time (as the notice was posted over the "checklist") and got back a 7.04 Feisty system... it did download all the packages, it just didn't install them.

Will attach /var/log/dist-upgrade output... nothing obvious in there.

"# apt-get dist-upgrade" is working (as I type this) and installing all the packages...

contents of /var/log/dist-upgrade

FYI, this is an AMD64 box.

Update... dist-upgrade from command line had a conflict... so this may be a non-issue for Gutsy.
