So you've got a network error here, so no big surprise the upgrade
fails. I'm afraid there's little tails-iuk-get-target-file can do but
retry (planned, not implemented yet) in such a case.

Strange. Are you "usually" downloading 150MB or so from a fast server
over Wi-Fi with the same laptop, access point (and possibly same OS
and kernel)?

OK, that's the other bug that I've not come around to work on yet (the
fact that I can't reproduce it does not help).

tails-iuk-get-target-file has LWP::UserAgent download to a temporary
file (in /tmp, using Perl's `tempfile') and only renames to the path
passed with --output-file iff. the downloaded data's size and hash are
correct. On download errors, it deletes the temporary file. So if you
want to look at the file while it's being downloaded, you should look
in /tmp for a growing file, or use lsof or whatever to find the file
open by a perl process in there.

I think that testing on a stable network would be useful.
