[Bug 220208] Re: package nagios2-common 2.9-1 failed to upgrade:

[Jamie Strandboge]

I think I may have reproduced this on hardy while preparing a security
update. Steps to reproduce on hardy:

1. apt-get remove --purge nagios2 nagios2-common nagios3-doc
2. apt-get install nagios2 (from hardy release)
3. apt-get -u upgrade to 2.11-1ubuntu1.1 (will provide an apt-repository soon)

At this point apt will show failures and require you to press Ctrl-C
because it hangs.

Note that this upgrade does not change the packaging, and is likely the
same problem as the gutsy to hardy upgrade. Also note there is no
configuration taking place between steps 2 and 3.

Output from apt-get:

do-release-upgrade does a lot more than a 'apt-get dist-upgrade' which
is why this problem isn't hit in Thierry's upgrade.  Sounds like this
may be http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=476466
