Public bug reported: I have been running Dapper for a long while, and finally decided to upgrade to Feisty. On forum advice, I first used update-manager to upgrade to Edgy, which went very smoothly. Once booted into Edgy, I did "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade".
The process stopped at the following error: Preparing to replace libbrlapi1 3.7.2-3.1ubuntu3 (using .../libbrlapi1_3.7.2-7ubuntu1_i386.deb) ...
