Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
udev gives the message, but says to report against update-manager. I was attempting to upgrade up-to-date dapper to hardy through ssh as described here: http://
the failure:
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.
W: udev hook script requires at least kernel version 2.6.17
W: not generating requested initramfs for kernel 2.6.15-51-686
Errors were encountered while processing:
linux-
/etc/fstab.pre-uuid already exists
remove this file before running the script again
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/

Errors were encountered while processing:

/etc/fstab.pre-uuid already exists
remove this file before running the script again
I tried removing fstab.pre-uuid and running sudo do-release-upgrade -d again just in case but it seems to be "already on" hardy.
sudo dpkg --configure -a just prints the dependency problems

I should add that I didn't have the dapper-proposed repository enabled. Perhaps I would otherwise have a more up-to-date kernel installed? Seems to me the upgrader should be intelligent enough to deal with this.
