Title:
  Upgrade from Lucid to Precise failed due to 'python-minimal'

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

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - Lucid Lynx. I was long time waiting for 23rd Aug 2012 for directly upgrading to Ubuntu 12.04.01 LTS. As my internet link is very slow, i spent several hours [almost 1.5 days] and downloaded all the packages [859 MB of download] using the update-manager tool. I was very disaapointed to see the same problem that is being discussed here -
  SystemError: E:Could not perform immediate configuration on 'python-minimal'

  I dont want spend any more time downloading all the packages again and
  try to upgrade again. Can some one please tell me how to fix the
  problem with minimal effort?

  also when i tried solution mentioned in -
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-defaults/+bug/990740?comments=all

  Following happens-

  kirti at kirtis-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install -o APT::Immediate-Configure=false --reinstall python-minimal
