@Tony Maro: To get at least your broken dependencies fixed without a hang, you could try the following:
chmod 644 /usr/bin/localedef # fix your dependencies here: # apt-get install -f (or whatever) chmod 755 /usr/bin/localedef # here you may try to "repair" your locales (optionally) # dpgk-reconfigure locales By stealing the execute bit from /usr/bin/localedef you prevent the hang from happening - but also the setup of the locales. If you don't get any locale errors after that (try e.g. invoking some man page, like "man bash"), you probably don't need to run the dpkg-reconfigure (I may be wrong with this one - so somebody else may correct me). I successfully upgraded 3 machines this way now - so I'm done with the current dist- upgrade ;) -- Gutsy->Hardy upgrade hangs in localedef https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/249340 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
