I haven't noticed this debconf upgrade issue in Intrepid or Jaunty. Can
this be confirmed whether this is a problem in a supported release, i.e.

In one upgrade I did from 8.04 to 8.10 I did not encounter any issues.
However, without understanding why or what caused this, I cannot say whether
or not that one upgrade was a comparable test...it was on a different box
than when I saw the original issue.

Adept doesn't do anything in the upgrade other than show the release
announcement and launch update-manager-kde, which is in the update-

Does anyone have any idea of what packages need to be removed after

This bug only affected me when I used the pre-release repository. To

suggestions. As I recall I had to force the install, which I hate

This update comes from the gutsy-proposed repository which you had to
