update from Dapper to Hardy failed when install xfonts-scalable

[zhihang wang]

Hi Guys,

In the middle of the updating from Dapper to Hardy one package could not be
installed and all the upgrade failed. The package that failed to install is
xfonts-scalable. The error is

Errors were enoucntered while processing xfonts-scalable
e: subprocess /usr/bin/dpkg returned error code (1)
A package failed to install. Trying to recover:
Setting up xfonts-scalable ...
usage error: unrecognized option
Usager update-fonts-dir DIRECTORY ...
[...]

When i said that i am in the middle of the updating i meant that i
1. aptitude updated && upgrade && upgrade-dist && autoclean
2. %s/dapper/hardy/g in /etc/apt/sources.list
3. aptitude update && upgrade && upgrade-dist

after the first time the update process failed, i tried to install the

sudo aptitude install update-manager-core

which fails in the same way as the previous approach

Anybody has any idea what can I do now?
the fonts in the gnome environment are messed up and all the letters are
squares
