[Bug 1045285] Re: lucid upgrade to precise fails

[Dave Howorth]

Marius, many thanks for looking at this. I edited the config file and
the output from dpkg --configure -a &> /tmp/dpkg.log is attached. Two
comments about the debugging output:

(1) the perl locale error just before it is familiar to me. It's a
result of some conflict in configuration that I've never sorted out
between the machine that has the problem and my main desktop machine
(see #2).

(2) I see mention of two display managers: lxdm & lightdm. I'm guessing
that lxdm is used by 10.04 and is to be replaced by lightdm in 12.04?
Anyway, neither is running according to ps. The machine's console is
showing a splash screen (ubuntu with 5 red diamonds) and it does not
respond to the keyboard (ESC, or CTRL-ALT-F1 etc). I'm running all
commands via ssh from my main desktop.

Title:
  lucid upgrade to precise fails

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

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 ...
