Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System
-> About Ubuntu.
Release is 8.04, despite the above tips returning 8.10, because it
happened during a distribution upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10
2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy
packagename' or by checking in Synaptic.
# apt-cache policy update-manager
update-manager:
Installed: 1:0.93.34

3) What you expected to happen
4) What happened instead
Upgrading from a patched/repaired 8.04 release following a power
failure and a smashed filesystem.
Failed when I tried an experimental 3 way merge of the dovecot
config file - an error panel popped up immediately saying that
the dovecot upgrade had failed.
apt-term.log says:

At the very end of the upgrade, an error panel popped up titled
"Could not install the upgrades" and whose body said:
"The upgrade aborts now. Your system could be in an unusable state. A recovery
will run now (dpkg --configure -a)."
When I re-ran update-manager it did not offer the option to do
a distribution upgrade. It's possible it thinks the upgrade completed
( I see that /etc/issue says it's 8.10, although I have still not
attempted a reboot to see if it's really upgraded and working).
>From apt.log (don't know if this is relevant, but I remember tetex
package had been broken some months earlier somehow):
