Title:
  upgrade 10.04->10.10 failed leaving upgrade incomplete

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  Hi,

  I just upgraded a 10.04 system to 10.10.

  The upgrade process succeeded in common, just two packages (gallery2
  and virtualbox) failed due to local configurations and a missing link.
  Nothing remarkable.

  However, after performing the upgrade (and getting error messages from
  these two packages that could easily be fixed manually) update-manager
  came to the conclusion that the upgrade failed (which is untrue, since
  everything else worked properly), and leaves the system in a state of
  unfinished upgrade, i.e. uncleaned.  The removal of unsupported or
  outdated packages, removal of old kernels etc. is not performed.

  I currently do not see how to complete the upgrade process. Leaving a
  system in such a state is not exactly nice. It should always be
  possible to restart update-manager to continue with the process after
  fixing problems like those with the mentioned two packages manually.

  regards
