2008-11-20 08:36:24 Jean-Baptiste Lallement update-manager: statusexplanation Grizzly, please attach the files from /var/log/dist-upgrade/ . Thanks for your report. The cause of the failure is ===== 2008-11-06 04:17:11,226 DEBUG The package 'postgresql-plperl-8.2' is marked for removal but it's in the removal blacklist 2008-11-06 04:17:20,865 ERROR Dist-upgrade failed: 'An essential package would have to be removed' ===== This is fixed in update-manager 1:0.95.1 . If the upgrade still fails the workaround is to uninstall postgresql-plperl-8.2 before trying to upgrade.

2008-11-28 06:53:06 Martin Pitt update-manager: statusexplanation Please don't entirely remove the postgresql regexp, it would mean a grave data-loss problem for users of postgresql. If you have postgresql-8.2, postgresql-plperl-8.2 installed, then they should NOT be removed on upgrade to 8.10, where only 8.3 is supported and 8.2 is in universe. postgresql-common will take care of notifying the user and doing the upgrade path. Please revert this in jaunty. 2008-11-06 04:17:20,865 ERROR Dist-upgrade failed: 'An essential package would have to be removed' This has got nothing to do with postgresql, which isn't' essential at all.

2008-11-28 06:53:48 Martin Pitt update-manager: statusexplanation I don't see a jaunty upload for this, so probably this isn't fixed in jaunty yet either? Can you please clarify why this was set to fixreleased? Thank you!
