Public bug reported:

1) Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS (with some PPAs);  this behaviour has been present
since at least Lucid.

2) update-manager 1:0.156.14.11

3) When an error occurs with one or more PPA packages, update-manager
produces the "Not all updates can be installed" dialog, giving the
options "Partial upgrade" and "close". If "partial upgrade" is clicked,
update-manager commences a distribution upgrade to the next (non-LTS)
distro version.

4) Since /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades contains the Prompt=lts
setting, I would presume that update-manager should never try to upgrade
unless a new LTS is available. I also would not expect PPA errors to
cause update-manager to initiate a distribution upgrade at all. What I
would expect update-manager to do would be to update those packages
without error (which is what happens after you click "Close" on the
dialog, and then click "Install Updates".
