Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Could you please add all the files contained in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ to your bug report as separate attachments? Thanks in advance.

Pedro, I got this same error when I upgraded to Hardy over a month ago; would the contents of the dist-upgrade folder still be useful at this point?

[marco.bomben (marco-bomben)]

Hi Pedro,
               unfortunately:
bomben@diabolik:~$ ls -ltra /var/log/dist-upgrade/
totale 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-04-15 00:46 .
drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 4096 2008-01-31 00:35 ..
bomben@diabolik:~$

:-(

I never re-tried

Many thanks anyway for taking care of this

Marco

Ok, Thanks for let us know about it, I'm closing this report, feel free to report a new one if the bug occurs again.

[Andrew Conkling (andrewski)]

Pedro, you didn't answer my question, so I hope these are useful. ;)

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

Andrew, thanks for following up. Your report is about slocate and differs from the original which is about 'ubuntu-desktop' . So I'm closing this report because the original problem doesn't exists anymore. If it's still an issue can you please open a new report against slocate.

Thanks for your help.
