[Bug 875413] Re: after an unsuccessful upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 (wouldn't boot) I upgraded from 11.10 to 11.04 to save my installations and data and it crashed

[Gary Wilson]

Oops, I meant I attempted to "upgrade" from the 11.10 which the computer
thought was now installed back to the 11.04 I started from so that I
could try the real upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 again (I got "to" and
"from" reversed in describing this "upgrade" which was really a
downgrade.
