** Description changed:
+ = IMPORTANT NOTICE =
+
+ If you got here, chances are your upgrade from lucid to precise failed,
+ and you're now trying to rescue it by hand with apt.
+
+ Please don't just comment on this bug or reopen it. It isn't helpful,
+ there are too many different issues here, already.
+
+ Rather file a new bug, by running "ubuntu-bug update-manager"
+ If you can't do that, because apport is broken, file a bug by hand, and
attach the contents of /var/log/dist-upgrade. Tag the bug lucid2precise.
+
+ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Filing_bugs_at_Launchpad.net
+ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingUpdateManager
+
+ If you didn't use update-manager (or do-release-upgrade from update-
+ manager-core) to do your upgrade please do so next time instead of
+ trying to upgrade with only apt. You'll get much better results.
+
+ How to get past this:
+ # apt-get install -o APT::Immediate-Configure=false -f apt python-minimal
+ # apt-get -f install
+ # apt-get dist-upgrade
+
+ = ORIGINAL REPORT =
+
Trying to "apt-get dist-upgrade" from lucid to precise I get the
following error:
E: Could not perform immediate configuration on 'python-minimal'.Please
see man 5 apt.conf under APT::Immediate-Configure for details. (2)
So I tried to upgrade just python-minimal and it failed the same:
root@linux:/var/tmp# apt-get install python-minimal

Clearly this is an acceptable situation when trying to upgrade from one
LTS to another.
