Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

While using do-release-upgrade on my server-machine i encountered an error. The following lines should cover the most important sections form stdout:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Setting up lvm2 (2.02.26-1ubuntu4) ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/lvm/lvm.conf ...
Backing up any LVM2 metadata that may exist...done.
update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)

Processing triggers for libc6 ...
ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ...

update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.20-16-server
W: mdadm: /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf defines no arrays.
Errors were encountered while processing:
 linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-14-server

Could not install the upgrades
The upgrade aborts now. Your system could be in an unusable state. A recovery will run now (dpkg --configure -a).
Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bugreport.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm running a system-disk with LVM2 and four additional disks with RAID5 and, also, LVM2 on top of it, should this information be of value.
I would have attached the following text as files, but could not find out how to do so, so:

--apt.log:
--------------------------------------------------
** empty **

Sorry for inconveninece and unecessary additionaly work.
The problem was, supposedly, too little diskspace. Increasing the space on the root-partition and running
apt-get -f install
and
apt-get dist-upgrade

seems to have solved the problem.

However, shouldn't there have been a check for enough space prior to the upgrade (The desktop-version's update-manager definately has one)?
Anyway, the porblem, for me, is solved and this bug-report can be closed (at least form my point of view).
