Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
The desktop ran Feisty, up-to-date as of 10/12/07, and I used "update-manager -c -d" to upgrade to Gutsy RC1 on that same date. The installed architecture was i386, although the CPU is really an amd64. I have 768MB of RAM.
Come the installation phase of the upgrade, I received a slew of message windows indicating the failure of x package to install. Among these were (and I apologize if I made any mistakes transcribing the names):
baseutils
bash
adduser
passwd
ssl-cert
cupsys
python-apt
dbus
libgnomevfs2-0
libgnome2-0
libbonoboui2-0
libgnomeui2-0
with the given reason being "dependency problems - leaving unconfigured".
After these messages I received the closing remarks:
"Could not install the upgrades
The upgrade aborts now. Your system could be in an unusable state. A recovery will run now (dpkg --configure -a).
Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/
installArchives() failed"
It proceeded with the dpkg --configure business, and the installer closed without notice. I have yet to reboot and see if the resultant installation works. Attachments to follow. Thanks!
