Title:
  update-manager suspends while performing dist-upgrade

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

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  My Ubuntu laptop is set to suspend after 20min. idle time.

  I tried to upgrade from Edgy Eft to Feisty Fawn via
  System -> Administration -> Upgrade Management (update-manager). There I was told that a new version of Ubuntu was out and I choosed to upgrade to Feisty.

  I went Away from the computer since the total download time was
  estimated to 3hrs.

  After a while I checked back and the computer did suspend. I switched
  it on again and the laptop did not finish the upgrad. I restarted
  update-manager and it's now downloading the new applications and
  performing the upgrade.

  To my thinking a computer shouldn't suspend while doing such a
  important task like a dist-upgrade.

  The update-manager should either inform the unser to disable the
  suspend function while perfornimg the dist-upgrade or do this
  automatically.

  I had the same problem when testing Feisty Beta on a desktop computer
  which is that old that it even doesn't support power management
  correctly. That pc just switched off while upgrading from Edgy to
  Feisty!

  Thanks for addressing this!
