Comment 12 for bug 269651

Hi there,

this is the terminal output from trying to rescue my system after yet another fatal system crash. This actually happened several weeks ago. I had asked on the launchpad digest mail list what to do with this, but I did not receive a reply yet. Probably this was because of the works on the launchpad system. The crash happened while upgrading from Hardy to Intrepid (then alfa 4 or 5) with '$ sudo update-manager -c -d'. I post this here and on bug # 254238, before opening another bug report. I copied this meticulously on the envelop from my bank statements. I just retrieved it while cleaning the room.

Cheers,

Thomas
