Thomas, This is a bug during upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04. So your question asking about 12.04 makes no sense. The bug only exists in the upgrade process from 7.10 to 8.04... and eventually I upgraded past that version and there were no further problems.
But it still would be nice to have this fixed, for people upgrading old systems sequentially version by version. ~James -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/412229 Title: Failure in postinst while upgrading from 7.10 to 8.04 Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: Binary package hint: network-manager I installed 7.10 on my system and then tried to upgrade to 8.04RTS with the Upgrade Manager. When the install was almost completed, it said that it had trouble installing network-manager. Then the install froze-- weirdly enough, the GNOME menus and internal commands worked fine but there was no way to get to a terminal window. I did a hard reset and tried to boot into the new kernel, and it just gave me a blank screen. Booting into the old kernel worked, and the system is functional, including, surprisingly enough, the network manager. Running lsb_release -rd shows that I am indeed running 8.04.3 LTS.
