Public bug reported:
I got the following error when trying to upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy:
"The system was unable to get the prerequisites for the upgrade. The upgrade
will abort now and restore the original system state.
Please report this as a bug against the 'update-manager' package and
include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bugreport."
The only log file that has anything in it is the main.log:
