Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree
I was upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10 (release candidate) using "sudo do-
release-upgrade -d". Everything worked fine except for the flash
upgrade.
As packages are initially downloaded, then upgraded, an internet
connection does not appear to be necessitated during the upgrade
process, and the configuration can change. This normally does not cause
a problem, but flash must download extra data during it's actual install
process. In my case when it tried to do this it could no longer resolve
a site on the internet. I checked my resolv.conf and no DNS servers
were listed. This, unsurprisingly, was corrected on reboot.
This may or may not be associated with me having DNS servers provided by
an OpenVPN connection as well as via DHCP. The resolv.conf is replaced
without restarting networking, so DNS servers are effectively lost.
(accordingly, this may be a bug against Network-Manager)
The flash package should either have downloaded the extra data at teh
start, or been postponed until the system had been rebooted.
