upgrade from narwhal to ocelot failed

[Gil Gamesh]

I was upgrading via the package manager. I had an initial error caused by a line in the sources file (pointing to R libraries), but I commented this out and restarted and everything seemed fine.

I left the upgrade unattended. All downloading went fine. When I came back there was a window saying there'd been a problem with the flash-installer but that the rest of the upgrade should be ok. So I proceeded.

Then I got a window saying that there had been an error and my system might be in an unusable state etc. and for me to submit this bug report with the contents of /var/log/dist-upgrade attached.

My network connectivity was gone, so I rebooted. Still no wireless, so I connected to my router via an Ethernet cable to do this.

There are system notifications regarding Nepomuk Indexing being disabled and indexing of the data stored in Akonadi PIM service being disabled so perhaps this is related to the known issues there.
