[Bug 1045285] Re: lucid upgrade to precise fails

[Dave Howorth]

OK. I seem to have created the bug at least. Brief summary:

* when the point release of precise came out, I tried to upgrade a
machine running lucid (fully updated)

* I'm afraid I don't remember the exact sequence of commands I used but
there's a mail thread starting at https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives
/ubuntu-users/2012-August/263204.html that describes what I thought I
did (I've been on holiday for a week). In particular, I'm not sure
whether I ran any other commands before do-release-upgrade

* I've tried various commands listed in the other bug, but they've all
failed. I'll attach the output from those commands and all the logs I
listed in the email thread as separate attachments.

At this point, I'd like to discover a way to nurse the system back to
health. I'd also like to contribute whatever I can to solving the issue
so it doesn't bite more people.

Title:
  lucid upgrade to precise fails

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

Bug description:
  I tried to upgrade a machine from 10.04 to 12.04. It failed with
  symptoms similar to those described in

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-defaults/+bug/990740

  but following guidance there, I am opening my own report to avoid
  mixing symptoms of possibly different bugs. I'm new to the whole
  launchpad process so please be gentle. I tried to use ubuntu-bug to
  report the bug, but it failed, so I'm reporting manually:

  $ ubuntu-bug update-manager
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/share/apport/apport-gtk", line 15, in <module>
      from apport import unicode_gettext as _
    File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/apport/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
      from apport.report import Report
    File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/apport/report.py", line 18, in <module>    from problem_report import ProblemReport
  ImportError: No module named problem_report

  More in the next post if this works ...
