Bug Description
I installed a fresh copy of Kubuntu 11.10 from this ISO image:
kubuntu-
Then right after install and the first boot the package update available icon is visible in the tray. It says that there are a number of packages that need to be updated, so I select full upgrade, and apply changes.
After it downloads the files, it starts to install the packages and hangs. If you click on the K menu, there are no longer any icons at all for anything under applications.
I started the install fresh again, and the same exact thing happened. I decided not to use the muon gui tool the third time, and from the command line ran "sudo apt-get update" then "sudo apt-get upgrade". Everything worked flawlessly.
I have tried to test this again in a virtualbox VM. The exact same problem is reproducible every single time.
I have seen this error with Kubuntu 11.10 release. I dispute that it is a duplicate of bug #840306 because #840306 is related to etckeeper. This error happens on a completely stock/default new installation. See http:// askubuntu. com/questions/ 89401/first- update- after-fresk- kubuntu- install- hangs-because- of-dpkg- now-what
