I have removed (in synaptic) openoffice.org-filter-binfilter and I am trying again.

Upgrade has now moved on to "Getting new packages", and it says "about 25 minutes remaining". Fingers crossed!
openoffice.org-filter-binfilter seems to be import of old doc formats, which I may need. I will do more investigation on my live system while the upgrade continues on the other one.

Getting packages finished after just short of 20 minutes.
Installing the upgrades said 1 hour 20 minutes :-( it took around 58 minutes :-D
About 10% in I got a dialogue saying "Missing Resources" - "The Network Manager Applet could not find some required resources. It cannot continue."... I agree, it simply cannot! I clicked OK and my network manager icon disappeared from the systray. Maybe it should have been gracefully closed as part of the upgrade?
It asked me about a grub amendment I had made - I chose to install the maintainers version.
Firefox icon on the taskbar got replaced with a "no entry" while the upgrade was running
It prompted to remove 25 applications (but didn't offer any way to say "no")
A quick reboot and I'm Lucid with the Lynx!

Same problem here when trying to upgrade. Looks like it may be because of bug #516727

Same here, although the issue has yet to resolve itself as I can't get past the openoffice.org dependency issue.
