When updating dapper to edgy, the update-manager failed while configuring uim-common:

After failing parts of the installation the file-open-dialog of firefox (for attaching a file) shows unreadable filename (lots of \square s), proably to locale/encoding problems. Might affect other applications as well.

The upgrade of uim completely messes up the upgrade from dapper to edgy. This
leaves the users of uim at risk of ending up with a useless installation of
ubuntu if they cannot find the workarounds.

Hmm, this seems a packaging bug in Ubuntu, and not our bug.
Please consult uim package maintainer of Ubuntu.

As I don't use Debian/Ubuntu, I'm totally not sure about their packages. But as
far as I can tell, it seems something is wrong in updating sequence in uim
packages (mismatch in libuim version and uim-common package).

With a quick search, uim package in Debian is already in 1.2.1-9, so possibly
checking their bugs and changelog can help
(http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/u/uim/uim_1.2.1-9/changelog).

Just marked my bug 71542 as a dupe to this one. There might be some interesting information there as well.

BTW, for anybody else that has this problem. I was able to forcefully resolve this by fiddling with /var/lib/dpkg/status as suggested in support ticket 2451.

Oh no! It seems my addition of the freedesktop bug to this tracker removed the confirmed flag for this bug and with it the high importance status :-( This is all the worse since one of the uim devs already answered that this looks more like a packaging than an upstream bug. He did provide some valuable information which I quote here.

What kind of answer do you expect for an upgrade bug?

I can only assume yes.

FWIW, edgy is close to becoming unsupported and the subsequent upgrades of uim went fine. If there is no objection, I'll close this bug as wontfix soon.

Expiring due to edgy lapsing from supported. Thanks for keeping an eye on this bug, and please reopen it if it's reproducible in further distribution upgrades between supported release versions.
