>   [Impact]
>   An SRU of nspr to make CD-based upgrades work better from 10.04 to 12.04

> their systems from Ubuntu 9.04 or earlier and as a result have had old,

> all using update-manager.

>   [Test case]
>   1. Fish an old Ubuntu 9.04 CD out of the drawer and install in English.
>  Make sure that the language-support-en package and
> language-support-translations-en are installed.
>   2. Manually upgrade to 10.04.  Check that language-support-en is still
> installed.
>   3. Run update-manager -d to upgrade to 12.04.  Verify that this upgrade
> fails.
>   4. Enable -proposed, so that precise-proposed will be used in the
> upgrade to 12.04.
>   5. Run update-manager -d again.  Verify that the upgrade now succeeds.
