Title:
  Dist upgrade fails. Due to python changes?

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I simply tried running `do-release-upgrade` to upgrade to 15.04 and
  after quite a while of answering dialogues, it finally seemed like I
  was getting close to a finish, but alas ...

  `Errors were encountered while processing:
   update-notifier-common
  Error in function:

  
  A fatal error occurred
  `

  More errors ensued. I am attaching the console output, as well as
  /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log.

  It seems the changed python links might have broken the install
  process, as I can find both an import error and complaints about
  python symlinks pointing to the wrong place.

  The problem right now is that the system is bricked, and `dpkg
  -configura` won't fix it.

  sudo dpkg --configure -a
