** Summary changed: - upgrade from 17.10 to 18.04 - apt-clone crashed with SystemError in commit(): installArchives() failed + UIFE - remove ubiquity upgrade option
** Description changed: + [Rationale] + + The ubiquity upgrade option, which allows one to upgrade an old release + of Ubuntu using ubiquity, is crashing when attempting to restore the + installed packages. Digging into the matter we discovered that there are + a multitude of reports where the upgrade crashes due to a failure to + calculate the upgrade and this leaves users in a state from which it is + hard to recover. Additionally, there have been few crashes reported + about this process which leads us to believe it is not used frequently. + + Original Description + -------------------- Test Case: 1. Install 17.10 and apply all updates 2. boot the ISO of Ubuntu Desktop 18.04 3. Launch the install and in the partitioning step, select Upgrade from 17.10 to 18.04 4.
