Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: apt

f...@bar:/etc/apt$ lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu 9.10
Release:        9.10

f...@bar:/etc/apt$ apt-cache policy apt
apt:
  Installed: 0.7.23.1ubuntu2
  Candidate: 0.7.23.1ubuntu2
  Version table:
 *** 0.7.23.1ubuntu2 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

When performed a "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade", the system started to work
as expected, then a dialog box asked to restart the system. Apparently
something failed during such reboot as I've ended in a root prompt (#).
>From there I've rebooted the machine, selected the new kernel at grub
and everything seemed to be ok but when I'm finally at gnome I've
realised no distro upgrade was performed at all, meaning everything
looked just like before the upgrade attempt.

f...@bar:/etc/apt$ cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 9.10 \n \l

Now if I try to run the distro upgrade again:

f...@bar:/etc/apt$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Nothing happens.
