please find attached the zipped folder. There are some files missing as
I got this errors when first copying folder to my home directory in
order to zip them:

Could not read /var/log/dist-upgrade/20120430-0828/apt-term.log
same for 20111013-2349
and for 20110620-0008

opening those three files shows me empty files (using kate).

I finished my update to 12.04 by doing the following after getting this
error:

sudo apt-get remove kmail
sudo apt-get remove knode

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
repeated the above two steps some few times until no errors came up any more. At some stage I remembered I had the unofficial ppa Kubuntu backports in my source list. At some point I also removed that source using a GUI tool (a GTK+ one I think, although not certain anymore) and it workes fine now and I enjoy 12.04.

Thanks for all the work!
