[kubuntu] upgrade from feisty to gutsy -> So many problems.

Summary: [kubuntu] upgrade from feisty to gutsy problems.
I just followed up the instructions for a graphical dist-upgrade from feisty to gutsy using the new kubuntu distribution upgrade tool.
The procedure was straight forward without errors but after the restart the the troubles began...
adept_notifier icon is on my systray says that 54 packages needs to be updated.
If i do a "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" from the konsole I get the following that wants to uninstall all my system....

$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Need to get 13.1MB of archives.
After unpacking 1706MB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?

So that solution was totally unacceptable.
Then I opened adept for the update, downloaded the 54 packages but it stopped during the installation with an error that unfortunately I don`t remeber what it said.. (Something that it will break some other packages I think.)
After that, adept_manager is no longer starts. It opens by saying "Database Locked" and it has some options if I would like adept to try solve this problem, but if I click yes the KDE Crash handler instantly comes up and in the backtrace tab it has the following:

This backtrace appears to be of no use.
This is probably because your packages are built in a way which prevents creation of proper backtraces, or the stack frame was seriously corrupted in the crash.

(no debugging symbols found)
Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1".

If I try a dist-upgrade from the console I get this:

$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

Finally I ran the command "dpkg --configure -a", it configured the packages adept left unconfigured and finally ended like this:

$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
Setting up volumeid (113-0ubuntu13) ...

Final thoughts....
A Total trouble for me the upgrade procedure...

It should be more stable or totally not recommended especially for the new users with little or no experience on linux.
Something like this would absolutely push them away from kubuntu :(
