Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

Hi,
tried to upgrade from Hardy to Intrepid using update-manager. After a while a windows popup with this message:
"An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.

This can be caused by:
* Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu

Nel caso non rientrasse in nessuno di questi casi, segnalare questo evento come bug del pacchetto «update-manager» e includere nella segnalazione i file in «/var/log/dist-upgrade/»."
