[Bug 200112] Re: Gutsy clean installs hosed by Adept Updater (*ShowStopper*)
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 158043 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/158043 If I'm reading this report correctly, it seems that the problem (specifically, the reason why this has been filed for 'adept'), is that adept is NOT capable of interactively guiding the user through manual interventions. Am I correct? With this interpretation, I'm tentatively marking this as a duplicate of bug 158043 that concerns the same issue. It is known to the developers, and has importance set to High. If I am mistaken, please unset the duplicate status and accept my apologies. ** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 158043 Kubuntu: adept_manager bails out in error for config files -- Gutsy clean installs hosed by Adept Updater (*ShowStopper*) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200112 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 200112] Re: Gutsy clean installs hosed by Adept Updater (*ShowStopper*)
Just to give more detail... The manual intervention with QT3 was as shown below. But, after successfully applying all the updates and rebooting, I ran into a similar problem using adept_manager to install a whole load of tools: opera, firefox, nikto, nessus, java, samba, nfstools, nfs, mathopd, stunnel, kismet. I start to think there might be a problem with the apt_manager / apt_updater code, when you try to install or update a large number of packages in one go. Is this a known issue? It's a shame, because easy package management is one of the great things about Kubuntu. - Martin - Setting up libqt3-mt (3:3.3.8really3.3.7-0ubuntu11.1) ...

Just hit this bug also. The error box popped up while adapt was: Preparing to configure new version of libqt3-mt Specifically, the error message was: Could not commit changes There was an error committing changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages. The workaround that Martin mentioned worked for me, and if it helps, when running dpkg --configure -a there was one configuration that required manual intervention, it was a conflict with the configuration file /etc/qt3/qt_plugins_3.3rc. ** Changed in: adept (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed -- Gutsy clean installs hosed by Adept Updater (*ShowStopper*) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200112 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Workaround... Once adept_updater has crashed, and before rebooting, open a command shell window and execute the following commands:- sudo dpkg --configure -a sudo apt-get clean sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install Then reboot. I don't know whether the original problem is broken dependency lists or just too many updates at once for Adept Updater, but the system seems OK after that. - Martin -- Gutsy clean installs hosed by Adept Updater (*ShowStopper*) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200112 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
