I initially tried upgrading from feisty to gutsy (running amd64) the easy way via the update notifier, which failed without any useful error messages. I then tried it again from the command line via aptitude hoping to get some more useful information, but it only got me:

again, without really telling me much. Poking around in /usr/share/update-manager similarly didn't turn up anything of note (I can attach all the files if this will help). There was a reported bug with evms for upgrades in a related bug report, but uninstalling this had no effect.
