Title:
  Update manager fails, and I cannot upgrade without it.

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I've been trying to upgrade an old 10.04 LTS installation to 12.04 LTS
  (which I'll then take up to a later version). My update manager
  stopped working some time ago -- it gave me a prompt box saying my
  system was out of date and that I should upgrade, but when I clicked
  "Close" on the prompt box, the manager crashed and had to be closed
  manually. I later uninstalled it (through the Ubuntu Software Centre
  program) with the hope being that I could reinstall it from there and
  it would then allow me to upgrade.

  That reinstallation failed -- the Software Centre gives me a prompt
  box saying

  Requires installation of untrusted packages
  The action would require the installation of packages from unauthenticated sources.
  details: update-manager

  but when I click OK I get back to where I started. (I can't find a
  setting to allow this to be more permissive. I've tried running as
  sudo software-center  but that made no difference.)

  It seems the absence of that program is stopping the upgrade process
  (which I'm trying to do from a CD). I was using the "32-bit PC (i386)
  alternate install CD" from http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/.

  I don't see, on this bug report page, an option to attach multiple
  attachments, so the log files from /var/log/dist-upgrade are below.

  Thanks,
