[Bug 1059120] Re: Cant upgrade from precise to quantal

[melchiaros]

Hi mrDoctorWho,

has apport not reacted on this for automatic reporting? This would have
brought up here the logs that are needed automatically.

Now there are two other ways.

First you can try:

apport-collect 1059120

When this brings not up a longer list of logs here, please go to the
directory


var/log 

and compress the folder

dist-upgrade

 After this please attach it here.

If there are any trouble with permissions there is a way to keep it on
GUI  with

gksu nautilus

this last is not recommend, because not supported anymore AFAIK, but
simply helps.


At best you perform both methods.


After this please set the status of this report back to new.

Thank you -  especially for reporting ; this will helps others users
much who try to come to Quantal!

Bug description:
  Hello. I tried to upgrade from Precise (12.04.1) to Quantal (at now 12.10 Beta-2). I wrote in console: "update-manager -d" and press "update" in update-manager.
  Then see an errors in terminal (python traceback):
  Error in sys.excepthook:
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/tmp/update-manager-pIYJOg/DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeViewGtk3.py", line 475, in _handleException
