OK. I seem to have created the bug at least. Brief summary: * when the point release of precise came out, I tried to upgrade a machine running lucid (fully updated)
* I'm afraid I don't remember the exact sequence of commands I used but there's a mail thread starting at https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives /ubuntu-users/2012-August/263204.html that describes what I thought I did (I've been on holiday for a week). In particular, I'm not sure whether I ran any other commands before do-release-upgrade * I've tried various commands listed in the other bug, but they've all failed. I'll attach the output from those commands and all the logs I listed in the email thread as separate attachments. At this point, I'd like to discover a way to nurse the system back to health. I'd also like to contribute whatever I can to solving the issue so it doesn't bite more people. ** Tags added: dist-upgrade -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1045285 Title: lucid upgrade to precise fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/1045285/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
