AMD64 7.04 install, fully up to date, and then chose to upgrade to the
new 7.10 installation that was available with the GUI. It worked quite
happily for a while and got to the stage of downloading lots of files.
Left it to it. Now it's hung. The GUI is still present and responds to
X expose events but nothing's happening. The end of dist-
upgrade/apt.log says
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/apport/package_hook", line 15, in <module>
import apport, apport.fileutils
ImportError: No module named apport

32245 is sitting in waitpid().
If this bug is the cause of a 7.04 to 7.10 failure I can't believe that
it's sitting here as High importance yet users are still allowed to
topple into its abyss by upgrading to 7.10. What do I do to recover?
