Cleaning up.  Is this still an issue in the current stable release?

Title:
  Kubuntu 8.04 amd64 upgrade to 8.10 fails. Upgrade tool exits without
  messages.

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

Bug description:
  Configuration:
   Kubuntu 8.04 x64 system (actually, network-updated from earlier versions).
   Network us working, no any proxies needed or whatever.
   I have several custom repositories added (for example Wine).

  Problem description:
   1) I launch command kdesudo "adept_manager --dist-upgrade-devel" as suggested at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades/Kubuntu
   2) Adept starts and offers version upgrade.
   3) When I selecting upgrade, upgrade wizard starts OK.
   4) Then, wizard downloads upgrade tool - OK too.
   5) Upgrade tool aka "Distribution Upgrade" starts.
   6) It starts first phase - "preparing to upgrade"
   7) Progressbar is moving.
   8) Then "Distribution Upgrade" tool exits without any messages.

  Result:
   Upgrade tool unexpectedly terminates without any messages. Upgrade is impossible.
   It looks like tool did not changed software channels yet and terminated before this phase.

  Note:
   It does not looks like this command started from console provides anything useful. So, any hints how to provide more info about this problem are welcome.
