This doesn't mean much to me---all I know is that when I clicked the
"upgrade" button when I was notified of the newer 16.04 version that was
available, it didn't finish installing and kept asking me for passwords
before anything would boot as such. I entered my user and root
passwords and kept getting the message saying it was the wrong password.

Have finally bought a new hard drive and taken it to a Tech to hopefully
get running again but likely have lost all my files. Previous years I
had upgraded from version 11, 12, and to 14 with no problems---it needs
to be made more foolproof somehow. Been running Ubuntu for at least 5
yrs and like it--------

Similar problems here with the update on 2 laptops. What I did then was to download an iso, burn a dvd, backed up my files to external HDD and did a fresh install of version 16.04.1 on both laptops. So far everything is running well with no problems. Installed on a third laptop without any problems. That proves to me the update version is seriously flawed and should be avoided. Like you I am a long time user of Ubuntu Studio and have never had these type problems with an update. Hope this helps.T

It seems there is a faulty parameter in the call to fmtutils :

fmtutil: unknown option `--no-error-if-no-engine=luajittex'; try fmtutil --help if you need it.

It should not be that difficult to fix...

Here is a modified postinst script for tex-common that did the job for me.

However I do not know if it is a correct fix or just a work around (I did just remove the incorrect option "--no-error-if-no-engine=luajittex" that may have been intended as usefull in some cases)

For people affectés by this issue, you may try following procédure :

   - unpack the deb package
      $ dpkg-deb -R tex-common_6.04_all.deb fixfolder
   - fix the postinst script in fixfolder/DEBIAN by removing the faulty parametrer :--no-error-if-no-engine=luajittex (3 occurrences to remove) or replace it by the fixed script joined in previous post
    - rebuid the package
      $ dpkg-deb -b fixfolder fixed-tex-common.deb
    - remove previous bugged installation and installation fixed
      $ sudo dpkg --force-all -r tex-common && sudo dpkg -i fixed-tex-common.deb

It worked like a charm for me, but the faulty parametrer may have been there for some cases...

Im greatful for the fix, so thank you.

  I'm just curious, I seen you have a new acct at launchpad. Like just today your acct was created, with what looks like the sole purpose to push this patch. I don't mean to be accusatory and I certainly don't know how to read source code, but I've read stories of malicious patches getting pushed thru under the radar, so I'm hoping you can just explain why this acct was created today, same day to push the patch. I'm sure I'm being paranoid so im sorry. Surely theres a perfectly good explanation for all this.

Thanks for your time and info. Thank you so much for helping the Linux community.

Frankly long time passed and the only thing I can suppose that upgrading to
18.04 my account expired, hope this helps.

Pls note also that just couple of days ago I received a mail from Google
about the use of my account 65 days ago on Ubuntu 16 but is long time all
my computers are on 18 (I revoked access from that machine).

Enrico

Hey thanks so much for your rapid response. Just the response makes me feel better.

Hmm but that is strange about your acct on 16.x being used with Google when you been using 18.x. That is strange. I hope no one injected anything malicious somehow. I don't see how an email from Google would imply that, but heck what if someone cloned an old machine or logged in as you from an Ubuntu 16.x machine.

Idk. Anyway you have a great day thanks again so much for the reply and not getting angry with me. Nothing is safe these days so I hope I can be viewed as being vigilant, opposed to just annoying lol.

See ya later!!
