It may be too late to make any changes ATM but I decided to try a repeat this AM. This time I simply updated 10.04.4 and then opened System Monitor, clicked on the processes tab, and "stopped" evolution-alarm- notify.
The upgrade process then completed successfully with no unreadable debconf windows. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1038573 Title: Unreadable messages displayed during Lucid -> Precise upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/1038573/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
