[Bug 926946] Re: KDE frontend failing in Kubuntu 11.10 -> 12.04 alpha 2 do-release-upgrade

[Teodor Milkov]

Same here:

# do-release-upgrade -d -f kde
Checking for a new ubuntu release
Get:1 Upgrade tool signature [198 B]                                                                                                          
Get:2 Upgrade tool [1408 kB]

See attached strace. It is looking for module named kde.so or kde.py in
various paths. I've no idea what kde.so/kde.py is, but indeed it is not
to be found neither in precise.tar.gz nor on my 11.10 system. I tried
searching for it through http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and failed to found
it.

Title:

  upgrade

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

Bug description:
  Kubuntu 11.10 amd64,
  update-manager-core:  Installed: 1:0.152.25.6

  http://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthread.php?57044-Upgrading-11-10-to-12-04
  recommended `sudo do-release-upgrade -f kde -d` , so I tried it.

  % sudo do-release-upgrade -f kde -d
  Checking for a new ubuntu release
  Get:1 Upgrade tool signature [198 B]                                                          
  Get:2 Upgrade tool [1410 kB]

  authenticate 'precise.tar.gz' against 'precise.tar.gz.gpg' 
  extracting 'precise.tar.gz'
  can't load kde (No module named kde)

  and the Gnome "Distribution Upgrade" UI appears.

  I'm not sure what's going on, but precise.tar.gz has a
  "./DistUpgradeViewKDE.py" file.
