[Bug 1052605] Re: ERROR:root:getListFromFile: no '/usr/share/update-manager/removal_blacklist.cfg' found: exception during Precise to Quantal upgrade on amd64+mac

[Colin Watson]

precise/Contents-amd64.gz:usr/share/update-manager/removal_blacklist.cfg                    admin/update-manager-core
quantal/Contents-amd64.gz:usr/share/ubuntu-release-upgrader/removal_blacklist.cfg           admin/ubuntu-release-upgrader-core

So if update-manager-core had already been upgraded, then that would
sort of explain that, but then why is it still using Python 2?  We
really need some kind of log files to look into the order of operations
here; if you can't use ubuntu-bug, then please just attach a tarball of
/var/log/.

  ubuntu-bug update-manager also is also crashing possibly due to the upgrade being unsuccessful. That means no other logs could be attached.
