Kubuntu Gutsy fails clean install on Dell d620

[Michel]

Binary package hint: update-manager

Clean install on Dell d620 of Kubuntu Gutsy 7.10 from CD.

$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 7.10
Release: 7.10

Events:
* Install proper runs OK, installs on 1GB /boot and 35GB /
* Rebooted OK
* Got information in tray about non-free SW needed by HW. Installed nonfree firmware for Broadcom WiFi, apparently OK. This apparently has its own installer, separate from update-manager.
* Started update manager:
  - Finds list of updates okay
  - downloads (large) collection of updates
  - halfway through the install reports failure, saying either files not d/l or conflict detected. At this time, progress indicator is halfway, popup window leaves no option but to abort update.
  - update manager offers to upgrade version (!)
    -- Upgrader fails with lock file conflict.

Attached: tarred /var/log

Worked. apt-get install update-manager allowed everything to finish
cleanly.

Congrats for the 24-hr turnaround! I am ashamed I didn't equal that
with my thank-you note.

Cheers,

Michel.

This report seems to contain a number of different issues. Judging on this part - "halfway through the install reports failure, saying either files not d/l or conflict detected. At this time, progress indicator is halfway, popup window leaves no option but to abort update" - could this be handled as a duplicate of bug 54450? (In other words, is the problem mostly that adept-updater is unable to deal with / more precisely tell what exactly the problem was?

If I understood you correctly, you have otherwise solved the problem on your system?
