I did an 8.10 to 9.04 ubuntu upgrade via the upgrade manager but it failed on me somehere midway with this message (and lots more after this):
2009-10-08 18:38:48,912 ERROR got an error from dpkg for pkg: 'ufw': 'subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
'
2009-10-08 18:38:48,952 DEBUG running apport_pkgfailure() ufw: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

2009-10-08 18:39:39,612 ERROR got an error from dpkg for pkg: 'python-cairo': 'subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Now when I boot the upgrade system the gnome-gui is completely a mess. When I try to fix this by booting into recovery mode I get these errors:
- when auto-fixing the gui:
package xserver-xorg is incomplete or not installed
- when running dkpg-reconfigure:
Setting up python-cairo (1.4.12-1.2ubuntu1) ...

Processing was halted because there were too many errors.
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I tried to re-start the upgrade by running 'apt-get upgrade' with the 9.04-cd in the drive but this has no result.
How to proceed on this?
How can I force apt-get to continue where it failed?
Hope to hear from you, Ronald
