[Bug 62923] Re: Could not Install generic kernel
Some additional information: the kernel *was* installed successfully. I ran dpkg --configure -a after update-manager finished its work, and it didn't configure any packages. The upgrade itself was incomplete. apt told me it had 23 more packages to upgrade (x input drivers) and 42 were kept back (python-* packages mostly). I upgraded the x input drivers. Then update-manager offered me to run a distribution upgrade, which upgraded 37 packages, removed 49 packages, and installed 9 new packages, and proclaimed the upgrade to be complete. It wasn't. apt-get told me avahi-discover could now be upgraded, and four packages (gmpc, pymacs, tomboy, vmware-player) were kept back. update-manager offered me a distro upgrade again and upgraded avahi- discover. The four other packages were not touched. I re-ran update- manager, and it offered me a distro upgrade yet again, but when I accepted the offer, it told me There are no upgrades available for your system. The upgrade will now be canceled. I could upgrade the packages individually with sudo apt-get install $pkg. These upgrades removed a few apparently useless libraries (libgmime2.1 libgmime2.1-cil, libdbus-1-2 libnautilus-burn3, libmpd). After that apt-get was satisfied, and I rebooted successfully into Edgy. -- Could not Install generic kernel https://launchpad.net/bugs/62923 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Today I upgraded from dapper to edgy with update-manager.
