Comment 13 for bug 986797

Just reviewing this and I guess I was somewhat indirect in answering Colin's question in comment #9.

I installed and updated Oneiric on 4/19 in preparation for iso/upgrade testing. Other than being on a multi-boot drive the install was typical - only / + swap - nothing fancy. On 4/22 I booted into that Oneiric again, updated it, and then ran 'update-manager -d -c'. Downloading and installing the updates seemed to go great until I encountered these four errors.

I took screenshots and made notes while the upgrade continued wondering how I'd go about reporting these but when prompted to reboot I did so and apport kicked in doing most of the work for me, but I reported at least two duplicates before I figured out what was going on ;^)

To be honest I don't see a problem. I installed synaptic after all reporting was done just to use it for examining the situation and those packages are installed and updated to the proper version. Could this have just been an apport fluke?

The only other "oddity" I can think to mention is that I use a KVM switch to share two PC's with the same monitor, keyboard and mouse. But that's never been an issue in the past. Still worth mentioning, but I really hadn't done any switching near the time these errors occurred.

I did save this install just in case we might be able to pull any info, but anticipating that we may need to retest I have a fresh, updated Oneiric on sda14 now.

I'd also previously done an Ubuntu Lucid -> Precise upgrade and an Lubuntu Oneiric -> Precise upgrade w/o any errors. But I went ahead and prepared for retesting just in case we have a rebuild.
