Public bug reported: Binary package hint: update-manager-core
Please work around or fix a bug in libdpkg-ruby/hardy http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=552125 which lets do- release-upgrade fails on Hardy->Lucid upgrades when the package regular expression list is too big (>3000 Packages separated with a '|'). I got something very similar to this (or the same): /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/debian.rb:905:in `initialize': regular expression too big: (a long list of packages, separated with "|", then) (RegexpError) from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/debian.rb:905:in `new' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/debian.rb:905:in `initialize' from /usr/sbin/apt-listbugs:995:in `new' from /usr/sbin/apt-listbugs:995:in `create' from /usr/sbin/apt-listbugs:1375 E: Sub-process /usr/sbin/apt-listbugs apt || exit 10 returned an error code (10) E: Failure running script /usr/sbin/apt-listbugs apt || exit 10 A package failed to install.
