wxl:

I will do that, if I can figure out how to do it.  

Nothing crashes, so a crash report is not generated.  

It is a bug in the upgrade process, but is is unclear to me how to
generate the bug report against it.  The Update Manager does not have
any menu entry for entering a bug (or any menu entry at all).  

How do I go about filing this bug report?
