Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
Hello,
When upgrading from Jaunty to Karmic, an error appeared during
configuration of samba packages. This was normal since I had manually
deleted the conf file for samba from /etc at some point and forgot to
place it back. I wasn't aware that this would cause problems during the
upgrade.
However, after failing at this point, the message appeared saying upgrade was
not completed successfully. However, except for the 5 samba-related packages,
everything was done. update-manager halted at this point and did not complete
the remaining two steps:
Clean Up
Reboot.
I rebooted and got into Karmic just fine. I corrected the errors by
restoring the samba conf file and running dpkg --configure -a.
The problem is that that clean up was never done, and I am left will all
the stale packages from Jaunty.
I feel that update-manager should have completed all the steps and then
gracefully exited with the error message. In this case because of a
missing conf file it halted the process abruptly.
Log files from /var/log/dist-upgrade are attached.
