[Bug 1309547] [NEW] Upgrade 13.10 to 14.04 Upgrade Failed SystemError

[Allan Kelly]

Public bug reported:

Whilst upgrading problems were reported with libpyzy-1.0-0_1.0.1-4.amd deb.
The upgrade continued with a warning

Later the the upgrade aborted :
Original exception was SystemError subprocess /usr/bin/dpkg return code(1)

Not sure what the state of system is.

It boots successfully but still has Salamander background so I assume
some configuration has not completed.

Synaptic showed libpyzy-1.0-0 package broken
I tried re-applying but this failed  (unexpected end of file during copy)

I manually downloaded  libpyzy-1.0-0_1.0.1-4.amd deb and replaced the presumably corrupt version in
/var/cache/apt/archives
Synaptic was now able to apply the broken package

Is there a way to find out how complete the upgrade is and complete the
upgrade process?
