At the end of an upgrade from 12.10 to 13.04, I received an error message something to this effect:

some programs could not be installed. You will have to reinstall them after reboot.

My question: Is there a log produced during the upgrade that I could see to tell me what these programs that failed installation were?

UPDATE:

$ ls -al /var/log/dist-upgrade
total 8
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Apr 19  2013 .
drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 Oct 23 08:12 ..
$

sigh
