Ubuntu 11.04 Alpha Update-manager Partial Upgrade Failed

Asked by Darrell87

I have seen some other bugs and questions with similar content. Basically, when I attempted to perform an update of my alpha release, I was informed that I would by Update-Manager that I would need to perform a partial upgrade. Rather than comply, I did some research and first learned that I should not do this on an alpha release. Further research pointed me to a similar question here where the expert asked the tester to perform a "sudo apt-get upgrade" and post the ouput. Unfortunately, I was NOT able to save ALL of the terminal out put and would need help in tracking any log the system would have made. In short, I am a bit new to testing and just assumed everything would stay on the screen instead of piping the output. What I DO have is the output for when the system tried to update the package-manager package and failed. Apparently, It was the last package which needed to be updated. I also have the output of a subsequent "sudo apt-get update" showing the packages which are being held back from the upgrade. I understand this was the most pertinent information provided in the report I read previously.

The aforementioned terminal out:

Can you give the output of:

gedit /usr/share/app-install/desktop/gnome-do.desktop

Can you also run:

uname -a; lsb_release -a

And give that output too

Thanks

The ouput you have requested is below with the unmane and lab first. I wanted to attach these, but, I had difficulty finding the upload facility here and the desktop file is to big for me to e-mail. Please let me know if you need more.

I also encountered the same error. I don't have gnome-do installed.
