  * kdm is not meant to be restarted, only warned about; moving the restart
    code to the preinst is causing kdm restarts that will break the desktop
    in the middle of the upgrade.  Zero out our list of services between the
    two uses of the variable.  LP: #985735.

Title:
  update-manager restarts KDM and interrupts update process

Status in “eglibc” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When updating to 12.04 LTS from Oneiric, the update-manager process
  prompts to restart KDM. The problem is that it actually restarts the
  whole X server, interrupting the update process. The only way to work
  around the issue is to finish the installation manually, with aptitude
  for example.
