Public bug reported:
When the Assistive Technologies are turned on and Orca is run at start,
then a distribution upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 will freeze on the first
step "Preparing to upgrade". The /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log will
stop at the line
DEBUG running doUpdate() (showErrors=False)
Simply exiting Orca didn't help. I had to
1) uncheck "Enable assistive technologies" in System -> Preferences ->
Universal Access
2) uncheck "Run at start" for Orca in Preferred Applications -> Accessibility
3) reboot
After that, the upgrade went flawlessly. I encountered this problem on
two different systems, so I'm sure this is a bug. Thank you for looking
at it.
