[Bug 82089] gnome-terminal seg faults while upgrading to edgy

[Glyphobet]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

This has happened to me twice, on two different machines, when upgrading
from Ubuntu 6.06 ("dapper") to Ubuntu 6.10 ("edgy").   My guess would be
that this is due to mismatches between libraries as some have been
upgraded and others have not yet been, but who knows.


Distribution: Ubuntu 6.06 (dapper)
Gnome Release: 2.16.1 2006-10-02 (Ubuntu)

Since I'm running update-manager -c from a gnome-terminal, the seg fault causes the upgrade process to die as well, leaving the package manager in a really screwed up state.  I managed to fix it by re-running the edgy upgrade program that had been downloaded to /tmp/ several times, and by using aptitude to fix broken packages when the edgy upgrade program could not handle the broken packages.
