I am pleased to report that using the above patch, my second sandbox tower was finally able to upgrade using the dist-upgrade.py script without error. I will run the test again on my other sandbox tower as soon as I revert it back to a Feisty install. Right now, I need to go to bed.

While this result bodes well, I still need you all to try out the patch and report your results back here. Doing so will greatly aid in the resolution of other errors that still may be lurking. If you need some help applying the patch I posted instructions in the other bug report linked above, just make sure you download the second patch revision instead of the one used in the example. Once you have run the patch, successful or not, please post the log files located in /var/log/dist-upgrade/.

I am not a developer, I am just a lowly peon user who had his install corrupted when the update-manager crashed. As such I need your assistance in getting this patch tested and, if successful, pushed to the higher-ups. Thank you for your help.
