Comment 8 for bug 78690

My update from Feisty to Gutsy release candidate by update-manager -d -command was jammed by this bug, package installation hanging at "Stopping bluetooth services". I didn't want to do a clear install so I messed around and tried to find a way to get forward. In the end, killing dpkg -process allowed for the update to proceed.

After that, there came ~15 error messages about missing dependencies, because of the failed package install, but nothing critical.

I was able to finish the update and rebooted. Afterwards everything is good except for update manager complaining about the broken packages. Because I don't have any bluetooth hardware, I disabled the bluetooth script using the tip by Kai Scroeder earlier in this report.

> little hack to bring the system into a consistent state:
> i put an "exit 0" at the beginning of /etc/init.d/bluetooth

After that I rebooted, and ran "sudo apt-get install -f" which fixed the update.
Hope this helps somebody! : )
