Binary package hint: update-manager

I got this error message during the distribution upgrade to 9.10
"subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 2"

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.

See logs attached. Note that I also received an "error during commit" at the end of the upgrade. Not sure if they are related. That bug is https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/483979

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as Triaged and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better! Please report any other issues you may find.

It appears the transitional packages never made it into karmic.
