Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

I would like to upgrade Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04, so I typed:

   sudo update-manager -d

Unfortunately after click "Upgrade to 10.04", the application crashed (some libraries is missing):

$ sudo update-manager -d
/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/UpdateManager/SimpleGtkbuilderApp.py:35: GtkWarning: Failed to set text from markup due to error parsing markup: Błąd w wierszu 1 przy znaku 78: Element "b" został zamknięty, lecz aktualnie otwartym elementem jest "big"
  self.builder.add_from_file(path)
extracting 'lucid.tar.gz'
authenticate 'lucid.tar.gz' against 'lucid.tar.gz.gpg'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/tmp/tmpy9fpyY/lucid", line 3, in <module>
    from DistUpgradeMain import main
  File "/tmp/tmpy9fpyY/DistUpgradeMain.py", line 25, in <module>
    from DistUpgradeController import DistUpgradeController
  File "/tmp/tmpy9fpyY/DistUpgradeController.py", line 50, in <module>
    from sourceslist import SourcesList, SourceEntry, is_mirror
  File "/tmp/tmpy9fpyY/sourceslist.py", line 36, in <module>
    from apt.deprecation import function_deprecated_by
ImportError: No module named deprecation

before this, in update manager, it just says 'downloading file 2 of 2', never 1 of 2, and it just zips right through the download.

Last time I have removed RawTherapee application, and it suggest me to remove some unused python libraries.
But why it mention that is unused, if it is used by "Update-manager"?

Installing the lucid version of python-apt [1] seems to works.

wget http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/python-apt/python-apt_0.7.94.2ubuntu3_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i python-apt_0.7.94.2ubuntu3_i386.deb
