Michael, too late! But there was nothing wrong with /var/log/dpkg.log as far as I could tell. I could edit it, for example. I think the issue is something to do with the machine being virtual. I have outstanding queries with the providers. And this upgrade was attemtped on the RC - I will try again with the proper release of Karmic. And I think I'll try and mark this bug resolved ot cancelled or whatever, if I have the perms for that.

There is something wrong with touch! sl2 % sudo touch /var/log/dpkg.log touch: setting times of `/var/log/dpkg.log': Bad address sl2 % ls -l /var/log/dpkg.log -rw-rw-rw- 1 root adm 168272 Oct 29 11:51 /var/log/dpkg.log sl2 % ls -ld /var/log drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 Oct 29 04:57 /var/log sl2 % ls -ld /var drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 Oct 29 10:10 /var Trying to touch any file caused this error. So I moved /bin/touch out of the way, symbolically linked /bin/true to /bin/touch and tried again.

The error message from dpkg looks like it might be file system corruption, please try running fsck on the disk. -- package dpkg 1.15.4ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/463201 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
