Hi!

It seems that I am one the clueless users that have been hit by this bug. I even filled a bug report (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/154278), that was obviously marked as duplicate.

I wonder what is the best way of action for me. I can think the following actions:

a) Wait until the bug is solved. After reading this thread it doesn't seem that this is going to happen nearly
b) Install the Gnome part of Ubuntu and do the upgrade using the Gnome updater tool
c) Use a more or less cryptic workaround
d) Wait until Kubuntu 8.04
e) Other that I cannot think right now

The truth is that not upgrading the distro is not a big problem for me. In fact I will do it only to get the newest OpenOffice.org (I wish that Ubuntu prepared packets for older distributions to avoid upgrading the distro, but this is another story). What do you suggest me to do?

Thanks,

Javier
