[Bug 657034] [NEW] upgrade to Maverick only partially successfull

[Joe]

Public bug reported:

In upgrading to Maverick using "update-manager -d", I encountered a
serious problem. This occurred twice. Towards the end of the
installation, I receiuved the following warning: "Could not install
'linux-image-2.6.35-22 generic'. The upgrade will continue but the
'linux-image-2.6.35-22 generic' package may not be in working mode".
Well, it apprears it ws not. When I rebooted, grub drop into "grub-
rescue" mode. I reinstalled Lucid from a backup, and retried the upgrade
again. The same exact symptoms occurred. After the second upgrade
failure, I booted from a Live CD and re-insalled grub. This seemed to
clear the immediate boot problem. On the first upgrade attempt, I saved
a screen shot of the terminal output. It read: Traceback (most recent
call last): File "/usr/share/apport/package.hook", line 59, in <module>
pr.write(open(apport.fileutils.make.report_path(pr), 'w')) IOError:
(Errno 2) No such file or directory:
'/var/crash/linux.image-2.6.35-22generic.0.crash' . I assume that this
error was the result of the unsuccessful upgrade to the new kernel.  I
thought this was worth reporting since it happened twice in a row.
