This is what printed in the terminal when trying to perform an upgrade. Then it hangs.

Martin - the change between 9.04.9 and 9.04.10 (currently in the jaunty-proposed repository) does not include anything that could cause this problem. Have you encountered it on any previous upgrade? It seems to be a problem with the scrollkeeper program.

When I made an upgrade 6 packages in total failed to install and printed the message as I attached in my previous comment. I tried several times. After a "install -f" it seems to have been corrected and now I do not have the problem any more.

For me it failed too, on an Eee PC 1000H with UNR.
For nearly ten minutes, the installation subwindow was only blinking, like it wanted to tell, that something is wrong. The time was to long in my eyes, so I pressed STRG-C, so that the update could go on like it should.
