[Bug 1073646] [NEW] Update manager crashes on upgrade

[John Kirwan]

Public bug reported:

Update manager crashes on upgrade from precise to quantal.  According to
the terminal:

Could not determine the upgrade

An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade: 
The package 'postgresql-contrib-8.2' is marked for removal but it is 
in the removal blacklist.


In addition, sysvutils cannot be installed or reinstalled and attempting to do so crashes the update manager.
