Bug Description
Binary package hint: kde-guidance
I try to install kubuntu-desktop on ubuntu 7.04 but the installation crashes on this package:
Configuro Kde-guidance (0.8.0-0ubuntu5)...
Removing any system startup links for etc/init.
After the hardware reset and reboot Synaptics and other managers are unavailable with this error:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
If I insert in a shell the command
dpkg --configure -a
I obtain the same error and the system crashes:
Configuro Kde-guidance (0.8.0-0ubuntu5)...
Removing any system startup links for etc/init.
and so recursively.
After a reset I recovery the system with the commands:
sudo dpkg --clear-avail
sudo dpkg --forget-
sudo dpkg -P Kde-guidance*
but the kubuntu-desktop isn't available.
Please try to reinstall the package kubuntu-desktop from shell giving the command sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop. Report any other issue. Thanks again.
