Title:
  [kde] Distupgrade from Gutsy to Hardy (beta) fails

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

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  I startet an Upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy (beta) by typing kdesu
  "adept_manager --dist-upgrade-devel" into the command box. The Upgrade
  was working well, until it tried to update Firefox. Terminal output
  reported:

  dpkg: Status-Datenbank-Bereich ist von einem anderen Prozess gesperrt
  (see logs in Attachment)

  The update process crashed and adviced me to do "dpkg --configure -a".
  It did some things, but didn't seem to solve the whole situation. So I
  tried a "sudo apt-get -f install", which reported that "language-
  support-en" is missing. After manually installing "language-support-
  en" I tried to do a "sudo apt-get upgrade". Most of the downloaded
  packages then where installed correctly.

  Finally I did another kdesu "adept_manager --dist-upgrade-devel",
  which installed the newest kernel and about 60 other missing packages.
  The rest of the Upgrade Process went smoothly.

  I remember, that i manually uninstalled the "language-support-en" for
  some reason I can't remember anymore. So if this really was the
  problem, maybe it should be a dependency, which the Uprade Process
  solves by itself.

  But since I'm not a professional, I don't have any clue, if it was
  even related to "language-support-en". I hope the logs are of any
  help. I'm trying a reboot my PC now.
