First of all, thank you for supporting Edubuntu! I assume you
installed this using the workstation version right?

This is an issue with Update-manager. I looked at Malone and noticed
you have filed Bug #50172 (I assume its yours looking at the bug
description). There's also a pending bug for it, Bug #46250.

Since its Update-Manager, I'll look into it as well and get Michael's
help on it too.

For the meantime, are you able to upgrade to dapper using Aptitude or
Synaptic? You will have to change entries in your sources.list before
doing the upgrade.

Best,

Jerome
