[Bug 134858] Re: update-manager freezes due to defunct dpkg process

2008-04-19 Thread Gregory Margo
Let me begin by saying that a few weeks ago I upgraded from gutsy to hardy beta, using do-release-upgrade. I had the ppa2 apt version installed and experienced no problems. Yesterday I did a little testing by creating a Vmware Server virtual machine, and installed gutsy from the server .iso

Same problem here. Verification of a burned data cd fails, but manual read with dd produces image identical to original. This same hardware, and same locale variables, worked just fine under gutsy. LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=POSIX LC_TIME=POSIX linux-image-2.6.24-15-generic

To amend my earlier report, which I filed after two failures: Following those two failures, I had four successes, so it's not consistent. Does not seem to be data dependent (image 1 failed twice, succeeded once, image 2 succeeded three times.) Also, I believe I only had the LANG variable set,

[Bug 154982] extended_states is modified even if --dry-run is used

Public bug reported: Binary package hint: apt I ran apt-get -s install on packages that had been Auto-Installed, and apt-get modified the Auto-Installed state (from 1 to 0). According to the man page, this should be a simulation and no system information should be changed. Here's a transcript

The ppa2 version looks good to me too. I did the first official upgrade (tzdata) and did 100 install/remove repetitions of the openoffice.org-calc package that had given me trouble before. It was in an xterm, and I really messed with the screen, resizing, iconifying, obscuring, switching

Unfortunately I've experienced the hang using apt 0.7.6ubuntu14. When the update with apt 0.7.6ubuntu14 came out, there were also some openoffice.org files that wanted to update. I intentionally installed apt and apt-utils 0.7.6ubuntu14 first. Then did apt-get update to pick up the

I just did a network upgrade from Feisty to GutsyRC, and repeatedly ran into the same problem - dpkg dies and goes defunct and apt-get hangs forever. It kept happening on kmail and openoffice.org packages. Have to open a terminal and kill apt-get manually. This happened wtih the PC(x86)

I confirm this bug. The problem is caused by a bash-ism in the .postinst file, which fails if /bin/sh is dash. The following patch fixes the problem: --- /var/lib/dpkg/info/rocksndiamonds.postinst.00 2008-01-07 15:28:52.0 -0800 +++ /var/lib/dpkg/info/rocksndiamonds.postinst

This is probably a duplicate of an open Debian bug, #433007. One gentleman posted a patch on 19 May 2009. Their test mechanism is different from mine, so I'll try out the patch on a jaunty install. -- extended_states is modified even if --dry-run is used https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/154982

Public bug reported: If a source directory is read-only, rsync does not copy any content from that directory. This affects only 11.10 Oneiric. It works fine in Maverick, and presumably in Natty since they both use the same (or close) versions. This was fixed upstream back in May. Please

I can confirm this bug on Oneiric, using lxdm version 0.4.1-0ubuntu4. Alternative example: With xubuntu installed, the file /usr/share/xsessions/xfce.desktop should start the xfce desktop but does not. A simple edit to xfce.desktop to remove the space in the name makes it work under lxdm: $
