[Bug 1286161] [NEW] Release upgrade failed - installArchives() failed

[Darren Hatherley]

Public bug reported:

Release upgrade from 13.10 to 14.04 beta 1 failed with this message:

Could not install the upgrades
The upgrade has aborted. Your system could be in an unusable state. A recovery will run now (dpkg --configure -a). Please report this bun in a browser at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrade/+filebug and attach the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ to the bug report. installArchives() failed.

The update was invoked using kubuntu-devel-release-upgrade.

The files from /var/log/dist-upgrade are attached in the enclosed tar
archive. It looks like that dierctory contains some old log files too,
but I've included them just in case they're also relevant.

** Affects: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Attachment added: "The files from /var/log/dist-upgrade in a tarball."
