Bug Description

I attempted a headless server upgrade from oneiric to precise by

ssh server
screen -RD
sudo do-release-upgrade

I've done this exact set of steps for several releases without issue. This time, I received this output:

The upgrade has aborted. Your system could be in an unusable state. A
recovery will run now (dpkg --configure -a).

Ok, I was able to work around this by removing libjpeg-dev and trying again.

Same thing for med. To remove:
apt-get remove libjpeg62-dev
It may update/remove a few other packages.
do-release-upgrade
apt-get install libjpeg-dev (if you still need it)

Everything else seems fine.

Same error for me.
The "sudo apt-get remove libjpeg62-dev" did the trick.

I still had the
"apport: unrecognized service"
when i launched do-release-upgrade for a second time.

Right now it's still running but seems ok.

Also an "sudo apt-get -o APT::Immediate-Configure=false remove libjpeg62-dev" does not work and returns the same error. currently I am unable to run continue upgrading the system to 12.04. Any help?

Ok. now I did it the hard way by doing a

dpkg --force -r libjpeg62-dev
apt-get -f install

to force an uninstall of libjpeg62-dev via dpkg and afterwards a fix of the dependencies. Afterwards I was able to run "do-release-upgrade" again without seeing that "immediate configuration" error.
