So I'm confused as to how this could have been fixed already in precise, given that the changes in DistUpgradeViewGtk3.py to support this were backed out as a result of the 1:0.156.14.5 security update. It's possible that when Adam tested, he did so against the right (precise- proposed) release-up

Hi Tim, thanks for reporting. Your problem is caused a package failing to configure, either libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 or one of its dependencies. Perhaps your issue is related, perhaps not.

I believe that this may be specific to amd64 at this point in time. The problem is that libpango1.0-0 is upgraded quite early, and it Depends: libc6 (>= 2.14) on amd64 (but only >= 2.4 on other architectures). When libpango1.0-0 has been unpacked, 'use Gtk2;' fails: Can't load '/usr/lib/perl5/au
