Was updating from Feisty Fawn to Gutsy Gibbon per

and got this error. As noted there, the popup said:

The upgrade will continue but the 'update-manager-core' package may be in a not working state. Please consider submitting a bugreport about it.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Could you please add the log files from '/var/log/dist-upgrade/' to this bug report as separate attachments? Thanks in advance.

I can only see the following error:

Errors were encountered while processing:
 ircd-hybrid

Anyway I'm going to mark your report as confirmed and waiting for someone more experienced than me to handle your issue! Thanks

Not an update-manager issue, affecting to ircd-hybrid.
