** Description changed:
Binary package hint: metacity
Performed online update from feisty to gutsy, twelve hours of packages
being downloaded, then all hell broke loose with error box after error
box as the upgrade did its thing.
update-manager quit when it could go no further, then I manually recovered via
apt-get -f install
apt-get update
apt-get -u dist-upgrade
rebooted, X runs but only into a fail-safe session

GNU/Linux
+ TEST CASE:
+ Because the problem is only triggered if the daily apt cron job is run while
the upgrade is happening, the test has to be indirect.
+ 1. install gutsy
+ 2. run update-manager -d
+ 3. follow the instruction for the upgrade to the point where it asks if the
upgrade should be performed, STOP there
+ 4. run: sudo python -c 'import os;
os.utime("/var/lib/apt/periodic/update-stamp", (0,0))'
+ 5. run: sudo /etc/cron.daily/apt
+ 6. verify with "ls -l /var/lib/apt/periodic/update-stramp" is updated
+
+ now install the updated apt, repeat the steps ans verify that in step 6
+ the update-stamp is still 01-01-1970.
