 Ugh.  Does copy and paste not work for you?  It would be much nicer if that 
 text was in the email you sent.  Install gpm if you need mouse support at the 
 console.

Or, if you can't install gpm, at least grab the content of the current
console:

  cat /dev/vcs

Or:

  cat /dev/vcs1

(equivalents of /dev/tty, /dev/tty1, accordingly)

Well said.  Rebooting in the middle of a dist-upgrade - I'm surprised it 
came up at all.


Convincing people not to reboot in the face of a problem is a constant

Indeed, I think the reboot syndrome comes from Microsoft, or perhaps 
wishful thinking that there was no problem after all.

apt-get dist-update failure - can't boot

2010-05-03 Thread Fernando B. Scussel
After doing a apt-get dist-update and restarting the pc because of some 
errors I'm getting the problem as show in the image.


http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y116/fscussel/Untitled.jpg


can't dist-update and system is not working correctly, many missing 
libraries which I don't know how to reinstall since it doesn't allow because 
of deppendencies. I'm lost.

It looks like your perl is broken.  What where you dist-upgrading to/from?  
Did you follow the release notes for what you are upgrading to?  A broken perl 
is usually a very bad thing.

From you output it looks like your 'perl-base' is scheduled to be upgraded.  
You should try installing the new version of that package with dpkg and then 
retrying your apt-get/aptitude run.

It's worth a shot, depending of if dpkg has not been borked, 'dpkg -i 
perl-base'

His screen shot seems to have a working dpkg.  It attempts to invoke the prerm 
scripts of a perl module.  That fails due to not being able to find 
'File/Basename.pm', which causes dpkg to fail the --remove action with error 
code 1.  apt-get then stops the install run.

Aptitude might get further than apt-get, but the prerm of the perl module is 
going to keep failing until perl is fixed.
