Revision history for this message
Narcis Garcia (narcisgarcia) wrote :

1. Updated repositories today with "update-manager"

2. Upgraded packages with the same desktop tool.

3. Update manager warned that not all the packages were well-installed

4. When I run "sudo aptitude search '~i'gstreamer" in a terminal, it returns me the message:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
Synaptic says the same.

5. When I run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" in a terminal, returns:
Processing triggers for menu ...
Processing triggers for libc6 ...
ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:221: process_queue: Assertion `dependtry <= 4' failed.
Aborted

6. If I retry the command "sudo dpkg --configure -a", returns:
dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:221: process_queue: Assertion `dependtry <= 4' failed.
Aborted

7. Having read these bug comments, I run:
sudo dpkg --remove gxine
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get install gxine

AND ALL WORKS WELL AGAIN.
Note: I don't know if gxine was the problem, or I only touched a side effect.
