Partial upgrading of Ubuntu 10.10 system

[Morgan Ely]

Binary package hint: synaptic

I tried to upgrade my system in the Package Updater when it popped up. My system only upgraded partially and stated there was a problem and the system was not able to update properly. I'm not sure exactly what the message was, but the entire system did not upload. Now when I go to Ubuntu Software Center it says items cannot be installed or removed until package catalog is repaired. However, when I press repair it says the installation or removal of a software package failed. This happens every time I open Ubuntu Software Center.

Have you tried going to the Update Manager and running an update? Usually when updates do not finish correctly, it gives you an option to do a "partial upgrade" to repair your system.

That version is too old and no more maintained
