General advice: If you run a huge update-all as you did (160 packages to install or update) and it fails, first run update-all again. It will probably fail again, but you'll see the error more clearly, because it starts where the first attempt left off, with all the successfully installed packages and their now uninteresting output out of the way. BTW, 146 out of 160 packages installed before the first hiccup appears is quite a respectable score. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Developer Access Program for Intel Xeon Phi Processors Access to Intel Xeon Phi processor-based developer platforms.
