The version Version Upgrade Verifier Utility utility is a standalone utility that should be run prior to the upgrade to the latest version of Precise. The utility checks, fixes (when possible), and reports on integrity issues in the Precise infrastructure. By running and following its recommendations, it reduces the chance of integrity issues when performing the upgrade to the latest version.
