Ubuntu
update-manager package

can do-release-upgrade be resumed if it failed?

Asked by ray

when upgrading to precise do-release-upgrade failed with an libc whatever error. from then onwards it just said it's the latest version already. about 50 aptitude dist-upgrades with strangest dependency issues where the next entertaining steps that had to be taken afterwards of that..

the last time it failed early i just reverted the sources list file manually and refrained from unstable.

actually a smarter always set things the way thay should be in 'precise' (insert next ubuntu version here) anytime would be nice. just like.. reinstall/fix-release-upgrade. or something like that.
