I downloaded ubuntu-9.10-alternate-i386.iso, and used apt-cdrom to add it. Then when I bring up the update-manager it pops up

Not all updates can be installed

Run a partial upgrade, to install as many updates as possible.

This can be caused by:
* A previous upgrade that didn't complete
* Problems with some of the installed software
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
* Normal changes of a pre-release version of Ubuntu

When I click Partial Upgrade, it proceeds as before and ends with the same error.

When I click Close and Install Updates, then the upgrade to 9.10 completes with no errors!

Let me know if you want any logs to figure out why Update fails, but Install Updates works.

I am on 9.10, but the update-manager still has a problem: The part of the window about upgrading to 9.10 is no longer there, but I still get the same popup above about Not all updates can be installed. When I click on on Partial Upgrade, it gets the same error.

How can I get my update-manager back to a sane state?
