openoffice.org-emailmerge fail to upgrade Karmic -> Lucid

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

Pre-beta 2 Kubuntu upgrade:

Did it actually fail or just display an ugly message? I am not sure how to correct the ugly message part regarding the following as it depends entirely on which version you are trying to upgrade from and the order of script execution and when the flies in the old packages disappear.

ERROR: Couldn't open registry file:///usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.1/program/offapi.rdb for reading

unopkg failed.

It did actually fail. I had to abort the install and restart it due to unrelated X issues. You can see from my dpkg.log that later it did succeed:

dpkg.log:2010-04-06 11:32:32 status installed openoffice.org-emailmerge 1:3.2.0-4ubuntu3

So I agree it's a sequencing issue, although I don't know what or why. Perhaps mvo could add a special cases in update-manager to make sure things go in the right order (whatever right is)?

[Chris Cheney (ccheney)]

Ok I will do some more testing to see if there is anything I can do short of mvo hacking update-manager.

However your original paste showed like it continued after all the warning/error messages.

Got the same error on a test upgrade from Hardy -> Lucid:
