Public bug reported:

I am using the tux on ice kernel from  a ppa. When I tried to upgrade to
15.10, it crashed in the background, leaving the gtk3 dialog sitting
there doing nothing. I had run "sudo update-manager -c" from a terminal
command line, and so after waiting a long time, watching the CPU level,
then checking with htop, I could see that it wasn't doing anything but
waiting for the now-crashed do-release-upgrade to finish or something. I
killed it with Ctrl-c. It left the apt sources.list configuration in the
modified state.

I used the command line to move the sources.list.distUpgrade and
sources.list.d/*.distUpgrade back into place, ran apt-get update, and
then used aptitude to install a stock Ubuntu kernel. Now the release
upgrader works fine... but failed since I had not enough room in /boot
-- good job on the error recovery there. Nice. I've cleaned out the old
kernel image packages, and am about to run the release upgrade again.

Sorry for the duplicate bug submission. The first one was automatic.
