Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

update-manager crashes with:

Could not install the upgrades

The upgrade aborts now. Your system could be in an unusable state. A recovery was run (dpkg --configure -a).

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

The only noteworthy part (regarding the 'delay' in the summary) is that I started the upgrade, then left my workstation for ~20 hours before continuing (at the dpkg configure step). Then I hit the crash.

Thanks for your bugreport.

Did the upgrade waited to ask some question when you came back? Or was there immediately this crash screen?

Thanks,

When I returned to the laptop, update-manager was waiting on the
configure screen for mdadm. I selected "None" for the mdadm option
(as help suggested), and then the crash occurred on a subsequent
package. At least I think that's what happened.

Thanks.
