Binary package hint: dbconfig-common

May have been caused by my wife logging out during upgrade to 10.04.1LTS.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better

As outlined in the log:
Setting up dbconfig-common (1.8.44ubuntu1) ...
1
frontend: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0.

dpkg: error processing dbconfig-common (--configure):

 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

That would match the fact the session was terminated during the upgrade. Could you try to upgrade the system again?

[Jim Gettys (jg-laptop)]

I've already completed the upgrade, so I have no good way to reproduce this. As what you see is consistent with what happened, (since I know my wife accidentally logged out during the upgrade) I suggest we close this.

However, preventing accidental logout during upgrades might prevent other such problems. Perhaps that should go in as an enhancement for future releases?

Marking this bug invalid as suggested by the reporter.

Your suggestion seems useful - I'd recommend to open a new bug against update-manager.
