Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xulrunner-1.9.1
Excuse me for posting with such little technical detail, but there's a
reason for that.
I made a botched attempt to partially upgrade from Jaunty to Karmic and
then back down again.
Going both ways I ran into trouble with xulrunner-1.9.1.
I have also run into this problem on a clean install of Karmic while
dist-upgrading.
Specifically, xulrunner never finishes installing... it gives a
configuration message and stops there forever.
If I killall xulrunner-bin, the rest of the installation process goes
on, but it breaks xulrunner, firefox, yelp, desktopcouch, and several
other packages depending on what's installed at the time.
apport claims (at the end of dist-upgrade, after killing xulrunner-bin)
that it will NOT log anything as this is the result of a "previous
failure" of which I also find no logging.... this is interesting for me
because I've never actually seen a message from apport appear while not
using apport...
I have attempted to compensate by forced purge of xulrunner and all
dependent packages, but that doesn't seem like a decent solution to me.
Which reminds me: xulrunner cannot be removed either, except by dpkg
with --force-all. Otherwise it tries to configure itself to infinity
again.
