Public bug reported:
Using Kubuntu feisty, I tried to upgrade to Gutsy following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades#head-
03dfe71741407e245a9fcd75bded428572061f53
After everything downloaded, I received a number of popups - contents
equivalents the following messages from main.log:
2007-10-12 19:22:02,498 ERROR got an error from dpkg for pkg: 'debconf':
'subprocess post-installation script killed by signal (Segmentation
fault), core dumped
2007-10-12 22:22:39,893 ERROR got an error from dpkg for pkg:

fault), core dumped
2007-10-12 22:24:04,503 ERROR got an error from dpkg for pkg:
'x11-common': 'dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Then, while displaying the message 'Preparing to configure libidl0', it
just hung -- stopped forever with no CPU or disk activity. So I
abandoned. Tried the process again (which unfortunately means I don't
have a proper apt.log, though I have salvaged the others). The upgrader
didn't work -- I had to 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to get things in a
working state. After this used "aptitude dist-upgrade" to continue
upgrade, which appears to be working, with some problems (due to failed
downloads, perhaps?) which may be fixed by trying again.
