Comment 3 for bug 489849

I manually reinstalled kerneloops-daemon (plus a couple of others that had
the same problem - speech-dispatcher and couchdb).

I didn't know that root needs to be unlocked to update!

In addition, postgreSQL did not upgrade from 8.3 -> 8.4.

Because of these errors, the update-manager did not cleanup or reboot. I
rebooted manually, but now I'd like to cleanup. Do you have any suggestions
how I can do that?

Thanks
