Just a guess: you have your /usr partition mounted read-only, and for some reason Dpkg was unable to remount it read-write. Try remounting it yourself and ensure it's writable before running apt-get dist-upgrade, and see if it then works. And, regardless, file a bug report containing the details. > > Also, if I try dpkg --configure -a: > > Setting up bsdutils (2.9w-3.1) ... > dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute post-installation script: No such file > or directory Hmmm, that means there's no bsdutils.postinst in /var/log/dpkg/info, where dpkg should have unpacked it. Maybe fallout from the above error?
