Robert,

Thanks.  In the period over a year since I reported this bug, I have 
upgraded to Fedora, and it works fine.  So I have no plans to install, 
reinstall or upgrade Ubuntu.

Regards,

Title:
  bug in update manager while upgrading

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  
  Trying to upgrade from Ubuntu9.10 to 10.04

  (1) error reported "Could not install the upgrades", & it said to report a bug in update-manager,
  and include files in /var/log/dist-upgrade

  (2) In the stage, configuring grub-pc there was a choice which I was
  able to make, and then another secreen of information about installing
  grub, and seemingly asking me to select <Ok>.  But highlighting Ok and
  clicking, or hitting Enter, seemed to achieve nothing - nothing
  happened.  So I had to do a hardware reset.

  (3) Then, perhaps not surprisingly, I couldn't boot into Ubuntu10.04.
  So this bug report is written from a different installation of
  Ubuntu9.10 (so any information that has been added automatically is no
  doubt irrelevant).
