[Bug 2110594] Re: Upgrade error window says: Can't install ''

[Nick Rosbrook]

I need to understand if the impact can be larger than that in other
cases.

David - In your case, did the upgrader actually stop itself and return
an error? Or did you see the message, kill the upgrade, and report the
bug?
