The fix is a patch to one of the Python scripts that is downloaded by the upgrade-manager when you select to upgrade to the new version. It isn't part of the original Breezy install. (Or actually installed Dapper, strictly speaking.) You should automatically get the patched version now.

It certainly worked for me: the unpatched version of DistUpgradeControler.py told me I needed to free 70MB of extra space, the patched version said 212MB. I made this space, and got a faultless install which immediately warned me on completion that the disc was 96% full!

So I think the patch *does* work, but maybe there is not much safety margin .

I suggest that Ander should consider attaching "the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade*.log" as I did in response to Michael Vogt's earlier posting in this bug, in case they give a hint as to possible reasons for the problem.
