Comment 58 for bug 450569

Yessir! That is the same solution I followed, except I used "System Monitor" to follow the processes, and kill any offender.... which happened at every turn. tedious, but I got it through. Thank you all for the help.

A thousand thank you's!!

I had to leave a terminal window open and run the killall command below
each time the error window appeared during the upgrade because it
appeared to spawn a new process each time a step in the upgrade occurred
but the upgrade eventually completed successfully. I had to run the
command about 10 times because it was affecting 5 packages - pdfimport,
emailmerge, report-builder, filter-binfilter and presenter-console and
they are now all installed and running.  Thanks again.

Cheers,

Rob
