Title:
  ubuntu release upgrade failed due to too many open files

Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” source package in Saucy:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Test Case]
  1) Artificially set a limit on the number of files open using "ulimit -n 128" in a terminal
  2) Open another package manager like synaptic
  3) Run "/usr/lib/ubuntu-release-upgrader/check-new-release-gtk"
  4) Choose to start the upgrade
  5) Observe an apport bug filing dialog (after the Distribution Upgrade dialog has appeared)
  6) Inspect the VarLogDistUpgradeMainlog.txt attachment for a 'too many open files error'
  7) Do not report the bug

  To test the release upgrader from -proposed use the following command
  "update-manager -p".  This should include the fixed version of the
  release upgrader and raise an error message indicating that you have
  another package manager running titled "Unable to get exclusive lock".

  [Regression Potential]
  Rather small as I've just moved the line for when the apt-cache is initialized.

  Ubuntu release upgrade failed. Terminal displays the following
  information:

  Preparing the upgrade failed

  Preparing the system for the upgrade failed so a bug reporting
  process is being started.
