Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

update-manager 1:0.87.24 0

root@swdev9:/var/log# apt-cache policy update-manager
update-manager:
  Installed: 1:0.87.24
  Candidate: 1:0.87.24
  Version table:
*** 1:0.87.24 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
root@swdev9:/var/log#

Not sure if my system is stable at this point.

Gutsy was installed
Then I ran (from a windows machine using Putty)

apt-get upgrade

and after

aptiude install update-manager-core

and got this at the end -->
