This workaround doesn't work for me... I have i386 architecture, so I changed the commands as follows:
wget https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib2.0/2.48.2-0ubuntu3/+build/15131276/+files/libglib2.0-0_2.48.2-0ubuntu3_i386.deb wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/d/dpkg/dpkg_1.18.4ubuntu1_i386.deb ar -x dpkg_1.18.4ubuntu1_i386.deb tar -xzf data.tar.gz sudo ./usr/bin/dpkg -i libglib2.0-0_2.48.2-0ubuntu3_i386.deb everything appeared to process correctly, but when I run sudo apt-get -f install it fails with the same "interest-await" error as before. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to glib2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1784065 Title: upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 fails due to `interest-await' in trigger To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib2.0/+bug/1784065/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
