Public bug reported:
the final dpkg --configure -a failed on some obscure kernel package
(which probably didn't harm the system), but instead of restoring (which
it said), or even cleaning up things like /etc/atp/sources.d back to a
clean state, it left all that junk, and there isn't any way I can find
to manually clean things up.
Don't automate anything if it can break and leave things in a complete
mess.
Usually I have to do apt-get dist-upgrade anyway, which usually isn't as
horrible if it fails somewhere.
So far, since Gutsy I have NEVER HAD ANY DISTRIBUTION UPGRADE SUCCEED
WITH YOUR TOOL.
Why can't you fix it - it has been two years. Something, usually
trivial or tiny - a missing file, something locked fails and thw whole
system blows up instead of EVEN GIVING ME THE OPTION OF IGNORING the
problem and pressing on, even when whatever you are trying to do to
restore things crashes.
