Public bug reported: I tried to upgrade from 15.04 to 15.10beta2 using "update-manager -c -d"
package "modemmanager" fails to update, and that in turn makes update- manager get stuck in the "update" phase indicated in the GUI. Console log: # update-manager -c -d Neue Veröffentlichungen von Ubuntu werden gesucht Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent.
