[krysswolf]

1) Description: Ubuntu 9.04
Release: 9.04

2) openjdk-6-jre-lib 6b14-1.4.1-0ubuntu10

3) Upgrade of the package. 10 bug found and need to be corrected. Started the upgrade as requested

4) PC freez at 52%, reboot of the PC, tried to upgrade again (system inform me about the upgrade), impossible to do due to another thread
"Only use one package management programme at the the same time"

No other thread running. Same error message after rebooting

Tried the following :
~$ sudo apt-get update

HI,

I had solved the problem by the following command line :

sudo apt-get update
-> when it was done a message appears, informing me an error exist, please type : sudo apt-get -f install

when was done :
sudo apt-get upgrade

no more problem with the update alert nor the update with "add/remove" program

resolved for me

According to krysswolf, the reporter, he took administrative steps using apt-get to resolve his issue.
