Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Could you please add all the files contained in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ to your bug report as separate attachments? Thanks in advance.

I've seen in this website that many users of Ubuntu-Studio have got this problem. Since I didn't have much software installed, i formatted the partition and installed the new version. It works great now, and I'm not having problems.
Sorry for installing it before waiting for an answer.

I have this problem. I tried a web upgrade, then a DVD upgrade. Same error message each time.
Contents of /var/log/dist-upgrade/ attached.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Thanks in advance.

I could never get Hardy to work on my machine. I am happy with Gutsy Studio and the OPen Office, Firefox 3, etc upgrades I've added. Maybe 8.10 will work and I'll upgrade then. Thanks.

I gave up waiting and did a fresh install of vanilla 8.04 to replace
Studio 7.10

 The trouble is, 8.04 apparently doesn't like my machine. I have tried the upgrade from plain 7.10 to 8.04, upgrade from 7.10 Studio to 8.04, and a clean install of 8.04. After a super experience with 7.10, I'm a bit disappointed that I can't get 8.04 running satisfactorily on my machine. I really like Studio 7.10, so I'll stick with it. I guess I'll wait for 8.10 and try again.

I do wish upgrades of software like Firefox 3.0 and OpenOffice 2.4 were as routine as using Update Manager, but then I've learned a lot by searching for and installing the upgrades manually.

Is it still an issue with Intrepid ?

[norrisgrd (rdyer40)]

 Haven't tried Intrepid yet. Thanks for the inquiry.

We'd like to figure out what's causing this bug for you and whether it has been resolved, but we haven't heard back from you in a while. We'd be grateful if you could let us know if this has been resolved in Jaunty / Karmic.

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are closing this report because you reported this bug a while ago and there is no recent duplicate nor user mentioning having the issue on Karmic. If this is still an issue, don't hesitate to reopen the report. Thanks again!
