Well I'm trying to update to 8.10 beta from 8.04 and guess what? It's not working. The updater just stalls at libpam0g:
Is it really possible that the updater removes itself and then just stalls as it doesn't exist no more?
Anyway, I've been updating between versions since breezy but it has never once worked using the updater so I'll just do as I usually do, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade...
EDIT: The problem this time was that libpam0g wants to restart some services and that dialog never showed. So by killing dpkg and manually installing the package, then continue, it should work fine. I made the mistake of cancelling the updater before figuring this out....
