Title:
  Kubuntu 14.04 upgrade failed

Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  System notification said a new version of Kubuntu is available, so I let it try to upgrade. Automatic ditribution upgrade said it had several hours left to run so I left it going.  When I came back, it has a red square with a white cross in it and the message : Could not install the upgrades.  The upgrade has aborted.  Your system could be in an unusable state.  A recovery will run now (dpkg --configure -a).  I clicked on Report Bug and it brought me here.  No other error messages seem to be present.  I know this is not very informative, but that's all I appear to have in the way of details, doesn't say what exactly went wrong?
  Current relese : Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (according to lsb_release -rd)
  apt-cache policy pkgname says unable to locate package pkgname.
  I expected it to upgrade to 14.04 from whatever it was on before (how do I tell now it's screwed up?) - it was up to date with the usual updates last time I switched it on, so whatever the previous version of Kubuntu was.  Off to try a reboot now and see if it recovers...
