Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
During upgrade from stable and well maintained Edgy (updated as and when
updates are available), distro upgrade tool crashed with following
message (and it is requested this be reported as a new bug and not
tagged onto an existing one - so please do NOT shoot the messenger!).
Traceback (most recent call last):

Personal comments:
I have not found getting to Feisty easy at all. The upgrade tool just
froze on my Dell Inspiron 1100 laptop. It took 3 attempts to get the
latest release of Feisty onto the laptop (fresh install as the upgrade
was completely broken). There appear to be a lot of missing instructions
(I'm not referring to using F6 to get to what we were all used to)
during install to guide the installation correctly (maybe a little too
automatic?).
This PC is an Asus P4 Terminator 533 c/w 40GB and 80GB drives and 512MB
mem. Based on the fact the latest release finally worked on the laptop
(albeit with the help of a cup of coffee - for the laptop!) , I risked
the install on the Asus. Hmmm.....
Ok, let me reboot (and pray like it's going out of fashion the PC can
run on the limp Feisty now installed!).
