upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04 unsuccessfully

[==Darknight==]

Binary package hint: update-manager

The update manager oferred the upgrade for 9.04 (I use 8.10), so I accepted, but when the second step (definig new software channels) was on 99% appeared an error message saying: Can't install 'kubuntu-desktop'. The message offer two options one report the problem the other close.

Thanks for your bugreport.

It seems like the problem is the conflicting samba-common and samba4-common. As a workaround, please try to remove samba4 before the upgrade.

Michael,

    You are right. After the initial message appeared others and I could identify that the problem was a conflict between samba-common and samba4-common. I tried to remove this packages and go on, but some other error occurred (I don't remember exactly what was). To solve the problem I reinstall the Kubuntu, but this demands a little comment.

    When I install the Kubuntu on my notebook I used a great resource of Linux based systems, maintain the files organized and separated, so I put the / (root dir) in a partition and the home dir in other. Using this organization when I need to reinstall the system I simply delete all the hidden files and directories of the home partition, put the Kubuntu cd on the drive, and reinstall it, piece of cake. So I did this and now I'm running the Jaunty. That means you can considerate this post as solved.

     Thank you for you attention, and the efforts of the Kubuntu team, be sure that you are doing a great job, and the 9.04 is the best Kubuntu than ever.

Darknight
