** Description changed:
Binary package hint: update-manager
While upgrading to Version 7.10 (from 7.04) I got the following message:
"Could not install the upgrades
The upgrade aborts now. Your system could be in an unusable state. A
recovery will run now (dpkg --configure -a).
Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the
files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bugreport.

Update manager version:
"update-manager:
Installed: 1:0.81.3
Candidate: 1:0.81.3
Version table:
*** 1:0.81.3 0

See attachment for the zipped log files (the ones stated in the error
message).
Notes:
* Openoffice was installed by hand
* nvidia driver was installed by hand using "envy"
* The "X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 170" errors
result from the wacom-entries in xorg.conf created by "envy"
* The problems seem to be starting here (snip from "main.log"):

"
After that, lots of similar messages for "login" (!), "passwd" (!) and "sudo"
(!!)
This does not look good...
=== EDIT ===
While I filed the above report, the "...recovery ... (dpkg --configure -a)"
was still in progress.
I left the machine unattended for a while. When checking back again, the
update -manager window was gone.
Trying to restart update-manager now consistently yields a segmentation fault
(!!)
apt-get reports the update-manager to be the latest version, however.
# aptitude dist-upgrade
reports broken dependencies for open office (which is quite understandable
regarding the fact that OOo is version 2.4.1-17, as opposed to
2.3.0-1ubuntu5.4) and wants to install libneon, libsvg1 and libwpg.
Moreover, nvidia-glx-new wants to be upgraded - after the update-manager had
downgraded it from the version I had installed some time ago with "envy"...
And, last not least, knetworkmanager is "unused" and marked for removal,
which I do find kind of surprising - is there a replacement?
Here is the complete list:

"
I'm not sure if it is safe to reboot my system, regarding the
aforementioned messages in main.log.
=== EDIT 2 ===
Damn... many apps are broken after the "update", e.g.:
$ firefox
Failed to open device
New crash observer
App startup
Illegal instruction
$ eclipse
Segmentation fault
$ gimp
replaced: ...
...
Segmentation fault
+
+ === EDIT 3 ===
+ Fortunately, I did not have to make a new install (as I had initially feared).
+
+ After some struggles (removing some broken packages by hand, re-
+ enforcing package configuration, re-running dist-upgrade) I managed to
+ get a running version of 7.10 without X and after installing the nvidia
+ drivers by hand (again with envy) a completely running version 7.10,
+ which I then was able to upgrade to 8.04 without any problems, thus
+ being able to keep all my configurations.
+
+ So said problems seem to pertain only to the 7.04 --> 7.10 migration.
