Bug Description
About halfway through getting new packages (1,017+ of 2,045), in an Distribution Upgrade (`sudo update-manager -d`) to 14.04, I lost my wireless access connection.
The net access had been flaky and I hold Ubiquity blameless in the dropped connection.
The issue was I was unable to get Ubiquity to continue on. About this system still showned 13.10 and `update-manager -d` stated there where no updates. I kinda expected a restart to pick up the ball but it didnot, nor did a full power restart.
I am not in any position to be able to recreate the issue, though I believe that just pulling the network connection while the system is fetching files will manifest what happened to me.
I had been logging the progress of the file being fetched prior to losing the connection. My last manual entry was recording that Ubiquity was "Fetching file 1,083 of 2,045 at a blazing 217 kB/s "

btw the "work around" was to follow instruction to do a distribution upgrade for servers to get to 14.04.
