[Bug 848915] Re: $DISPLAY not set in some cases, resulting in cryptic traceback

[Colin Watson]

I've been unable to reproduce this in my testing; and as I said in my
previous comment I don't think this actually has anything particular to
do with partial upgrades, so I've retitled the bug accordingly.

With the exception of bug 929752, the only reports we've had of this are
from natty->oneiric upgrades prior to release (the latest reported date
is 2011-10-09).  If this were still a major problem, I'd expect to have
seen a similar number of reports from oneiric->precise upgrades.  I
can't identify a specific change that might have fixed this, so I'm not
prepared to close the bug, but I'm removing the rls-p-tracking tag as it
doesn't appear to be release-critical.  We can revisit this if we start
seeing more duplicates of this.
