Bug Description
I was trying to report a bug regarding update-manager and distribution upgrade from lucid to precise and received and oops report from Launchpad when trying to report the bug.
The oops can be found at https:/
Apparently there is limit of 50,000 characters on the description.
11:20 < rick_h> bdmurray: so it looks like LP is rejecting it because the description on the bug report is > 50000 characters long
No matter what I put for the bug description was I able to file the bug report. I think because the data apport had uploaded was making the description longer than the limit. I'll attach the apport "crash" report.

Indeed, update-manager adds a field which looks like
Install: sound-theme- freedesktop: amd64 (0.7-0ubuntu3, automatic), libdpkg-perl:amd64 (1.16.1.2ubuntu5, automat keyring: amd64 (0.7.1-1fakesync1, automatic), libsws winbind: amd64 (3.6.3-1ubuntu1, automatic), libcdio13:amd64 (0.83-
ic), libgconf-2-4:amd64 (3.2.5-0ubuntu1, automatic), python-
cale2:amd64 (0.8-1ubuntu2, automatic), libpam-
1, automatic), libmodplug1:amd64 (0.8.8.4-1, automatic), libecryptfs0:amd64 (96-0ubuntu2, automatic), libtokyoc
abinet8:amd64 (1.4.37-6.1build1, automatic), [..]
and is a huge line. I'll fix ProblemReport to not show these inline.
