Public bug reported:
Friday 31/10 I did an upgrade from Hardy to Intrepid using the Belgian
mirrors (be.archive...). The archives were pretty much down at that
time, and I think that affected what happened when upgrading to
Intrepid: Only a few packages were installed (I think three), and after
that the cleaning seemed to go nowhere. (Similar effects to the fist
post of this topic: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=963587 ) I
descided to kill update-manager (using a terminal). After that, my
system was running (mostly) hardy packages, but thought it was running
intrepid. I didn't quite know how to recover my system, but in the end
this post helped me through, after switching to the german mirrors:

To summarise:
- Only a very small part of the upgrade was executed, I think this shouldn't
happen
- The result was very confusing to me (I suspect it would be to a lot of users)
- I still managed to recover the system using aptitude
