Thanks for your bugreport.

Could you please include the full /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log ?

[The Oracle (ascott27)]

This is the main.log. I got through most of the upgrade by uninstalling a kde4 component, but is hanging at Cleaning Up.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

I am still unable to upgrade from 7.10 to the most recent version.
