Thanks 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.

Adding logs requested: first main.log

[Keven Duncan (kevenduncan)]

next apt.log

[Keven Duncan (kevenduncan)]

finally main.log.partial (nothing in term.log)

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

Thanks for the logs. I'm setting the status to 'confirmed'
These are the same symptoms as bug 571743.

I just tried to apply the same fix as for the xubuntu failure, but that apparently does not work. So this needs a bit more debugging.

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

ok. I'm setting importance to medium because there is an easy workaround (remove mythbuntu-desktop) but with the release of 10.04.1 this could be a showstopper for some users.

@Keven:
to remove mythbuntu-desktop open a terminal and run:
$ sudo apt-get remove mythbuntu-desktop

Before confirming the action, verify the list of package to be removed to ensure that is what you want to do.
