Hi Robin,

I realized after posting my comment you could very well has read that
I asked you personally for assistance as opposed to getting the "team
at the top" (Canonical) to post a workaround - but my heartfelt
thanks for doing this. Many will benefit from your advice.

Although I am new to Linux (6 months), I've delved under the bonnet a
lot to see how this motor works - being an old DOS bred guy it's just
so great to have an operating system that behaves itself again.

Again, my sincere thanks,
M.

Subj: [Bug 107188] Re: [MASTER] [kde] Upgrade tool crashed (edgy ->
feisty)

Marc,

After the upgrade, go to /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log. Just before
the
crash entries at the end of the log, you'll see a list of packages
that
were flagged for removal.

Just "sudo apt-get remove --purge copy/paste the list of packages
here"

and you should be good to go.

For the record, I did this four time and it never hosed my system, the
upgrade itself went very smoothly. I also did my buddy's system and
didn't run into this error, it went very smoothly.
