Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
Hi,
I tried to upgrade an amd64 install of kubuntu 10.10 to kubuntu 11.04 this evening using kpackagekit. The upgrade fails with the message:
Invalid Package Information
After your package information was updated the essential package 'ubuntu-minimal' can not be found anymore.
This indicates a serious error, please report the bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/
(K)Ubuntu release ('lsb_release -rd'):
Description: Ubuntu 10.10
Release: 10.10
software version information (apt-cache policy ...)
update-manager:
Installed: 1:0.142.23
Candidate: 1:0.142.23
Version table:
*** 1:0.142.23 0
100 /var/lib/
kpackagekit:
Installed: 0.6.2-0ubuntu1
Candidate: 0.6.2-0ubuntu1
Version table:
*** 0.6.2-0ubuntu1 0
100 /var/lib/
Expected outcome:
I expected the installation to proceed beyond the "Setting new software channels" stage to complete the installation.
What happened instead:
The message above was generated. Clicking the close button exits the installer.
I can confirm this bug on 32 bit kubuntu 10.10. It used to be ubuntu but installed the kubuntu-desktop package.
KDE 4.6.2 from kubuntu ppa backports.
