Binary package hint: update-manager

I upgraded successfully a virtual machine from 9.10 to 10.04 with update-manager, but 8.04 LTS to 10.04 LTS is erroring out. The following error is gotten after retrieving new packages and moving to Installing packages phase:

Virhe suoritettaeessa ("Error running")
'E:Couldn't configure pre-depend openoffice.org-common for openoffice.org-voikko, probably a dependency cycle'
Palautetaan alkuperäistän järjestelmän tilaa ("Restoring original system state")

openoffice.org-voikko indeed pre-depends on openoffice.org-common since Ubuntu 9.04 where it was added at a last minute to prevent upgrade problems. The hardy version openoffice.org-voikko on the other hand conflicts with openoffice.org-core >=1:2.4.1.1, which is possibly where the calculation attempts stop.

The correct order would be to remove the old openoffice.org-voikko while old OOo is still installed, so that unregistering is done using the existing OOo,, then upgrade to new OOo and, and install the new openoffice.org-voikko with the new unopkg offered by openoffice.org-common.

(note there is another report bug #556321 on 9.10 -> 10.04 upgrade problems, but I can't replicate those as described there)
