hangup trying to write disc while upgrading this package

[J Meya]

Binary package hint: ttf-opensymbol

I'm not sure if that can be considered as a bug.

When upgrading from 6.06 to 8.04 It apeared the following Serious Error please inform and attach /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log
/var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log

I restarted on "recovery mode" because of a toshiba laptop problem I could not start X. And I was unsuccessfully trying to do a "dpkg --configure --pending" but it hangsup all times "setting-up ttf-opensymbol". Nothing else was said.
After a long research, I found that it was unsuccessfully retrying to write to hard disk that had errors. So after using a e2fsck on hard disk I could successfully finish dist-upgrade.

Unfortunately, due to a problem posted on:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=587668

and that can be applied also to a 6.06 to 8.04 upgrade, I could not start X and inform untill now.

It appears this was some sort of hardware fault, it gave a bus error during fontconfig update.
