I don't like the idea of relying on dapper-backports for this; I think we should ship the upgrader complete and independent of any external packages. -- - mdz -- update-manager for edgy needs to upgrade dpkg/apt before calculating the upgrade to support the new "breaks" - otherwise the upgrade may fail https://launchpad.net/bugs/54234 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
