Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

I am trying to upgrade using 'update-manager -d'

Here is the message I got:

Getting upgrade pre-requists failed

The system was unable to get the pre-requists for the upgrade. The upgrade will abort now and restore the original system state.

Please report this as a bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bugreport.
