An email from Martin Pitt that went out across the ubuntu-devel-announce mailing list warns about a possible failure with the new gdm 2.26 that just landed for those taking part in testing Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala.

“… if you upgraded to gdm 2.26 since last Friday, updating your system under GNOME will kill the upgrade and your session in the middle of the update again, since there is no way for the fixed gdm version to override the previous version’s prerm script.”

For more information including steps to fix the issue, see the original email in the mailing list archives.
