Bug Description

I don't know the package name but the distribution upgrader application was running to upgrade from Edgy to Feisty. It was at the cleanup stage removing obsolete packages when it crashed running out of memory. I ran top and yes all physical (1.1GB) and swap (2GB) was consumed.

During the upgrade process my wireless was disabled to I had to reboot and that's why I don't have package name. But, I did remember enough to save the traceback and logfiles. The traceback is appended below. I don't see anywhere to upload the logfiles with this bug report so send me an email (<email address hidden>) and I'll mail them (main.log, apt.log) to you.

Keep up the good work. Edgy was the first Linux distro I could use on a daily basis. I'm looking forward to using Feisty.

Dermot.

Now I see how to attach one logfile. If I get to also attach the second ignore the "send me an email" bit above.
