My failure came doing a partial upgrade after installing hardy-alpha3-amd64 alternate onto a Latitude D630. There was a series of failures through mono libraries culminating in fspot and tomboy. /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt-term.log attached.

The problem is not repeatable at present, as I would have to de-install
and attempt to install 8.04 again.

I tried the "UPDATE" on the existing installation and the error was not
present.

I have been on the road and will attempt this procedure as soon as I am
back.

Thank you

Bob

Forgive my ignorance, but is there a log file, or a cli command that would be helpful to send to you? I also had the same result on i386 based system before any changes were made to system right after install/upgrade of Alpha 3.

Thanks, but I'm not working on the bug, I just reported it.

And it seems that they have pretty well sorted it out, judging from
the number of 'this is a duplicate of that' messages I've been getting
about it.

I had this problem on my laptop (E: mono-gac: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 3). This was solved by purging packages libmono-addins0.2-cil and libmono-addins-gui0.2-cil and then reinstalling mono-gac.

I just had the same bug appear when I was updating an 8.04 LTS computer that has not been used for about 6 months or more. The Update Manager reported that there were over 500 updates to do, so I let it rip. First, it said it couldn't do a full upgrade, just a partial upgrade (I just wanted it to do what it could do, so that's ok). Then in installation phase, I got the series of errors mentioned above, dealing with mono-gac, mono-addins0.2-cil, tomboy, fspot, and the final coup saying that the system is in an indeterminate state or something like that and it may not run. I rebooted and am sending this report just to show that whatever fix was thought to have solved the problem, didn't fix for me. My installation was not from a beta, but rather from the final 8.04LTS release. So much for long term reliability. I'm glad this was not a production computer, just one I use from time to time. I haven't done anything to the packages that were downloaded from standard repositories. I don't even use Mono. ... Moving on to a clean 9.10 installation, until the next LTS comes out, and then I'll do another clean re-installation. If I were an IT professional with a customer having this problem, I'd be kicking myself for going forward with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS at this point. Hopefully, anyone in that position can clean up the mess by removing and reinstalling affected programs, if they can be determined. The big question is, why is the update still failing after all these months? One would hope that when status is "Fix Released", it stays fixed.

Ooops, I take it all back. The computer that I thought was running the final release of 8.04 LTS was actually running 8.04 alpha #1. Who knows what bugs lurked in there waiting for me to stumble over them with this update. Disregard my prior comment #23. Anyway, the system is working fine, and even runs tomboy, so I guess the older version of tomboy still works without the failed update.
