[Bug 1499847] Re: system upgrade freezes when package upgrade fails

[Christian Kirbach]

I know that a separate bug is open for the failing package.
This is about a different issue: upgrade-manager just froze with above python stack trace. The exception of a failing package upgrade should be handled. I admit that it should not happen.

** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 1481798
   package:modemmanager:1.4.10-1:subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 100

Title:
  system upgrade freezes when package upgrade fails

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

Bug description:
  I tried to upgrade from 15.04 to 15.10beta2 using "update-manager -c
  -d"

  package "modemmanager" fails to update, and that in turn makes update-
  manager get stuck in the "update" phase indicated in the GUI.

  Console log:

  # update-manager -c -d
