Title:
  Release upgrade 12.10 - kubuntu-netbook could not be installed -
  Unicode error u'\xbb'

Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On the beginning of my release update to kubuntu 12.10 (from 12.04) I got an error-message:
  "kubuntu-netbook" couldn't be installed"

  If I close this message, then there where messages that packages must
  be removed, because there are problems to remove this during the
  release-update, for example the packages:

  kubuntu-desktop
  update-manager
  update-notifier 
  update-manager-kde 

  When I remove this packages individuelly, then I can't upgrade my
  system. So I installed these packages again.

  Trying to start furthermore release-upgrades, unfortunately I got the same error-message again and again. 
  What are wrong on my system?
