Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: update-manager

When upgrading to the alpha version of Natty Narwhal, the update-manager
(distribution upgrade app) downloads all of the necessary files and
proceeds to install. However, about half way through the installation
process, an error message pops up and says that the update-manager could
not upgrade due to an unexpected error. It gives a command that reads
similar to the following:

"Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the 
files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bug report.
E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1), E:Sub-process 
/usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1), E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned 
an error code (1)"

It then told me it was going to reverse the upgrade and return my
original kernel, Maverick Meerkat.

Other Info:

apt-cache policy update-manager yields:

update-manager:
  Installed: 1:0.145.9
  Candidate: 1:0.145.9
  Version table:
 *** 1:0.145.9 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

lsb_release -rd yields:

Description:    Ubuntu natty (development branch)
Release:        11.04

^^^^this is weird because when I go to System>About Ubuntu it tells me I
am using Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat 10.10. Also update-manager told me it
was reverting to its orignal state but it looks like it continued to
install 11.04 anyways...?
