Once it error'd out, I believe my sources.list where left at oneiric. From what I remember, update-manager, do-release-upgrade, aptitude all gave the same error. I also have the ubuntu-desktop package installed. So AFAICT, I ran into this error in a legit way. >> > > Just FYI, dpkg and apt are C(++?) programs.

trouble with python-minimal upgrade
Hey folks, Sorry to ask for support on this list, but I just tried to upgrade to oneiric, and my computer is in a sorry state. python-minimal has a dependency loop problem, and dpkg is complaining more loudly than I'm used to. Basically, all the various upgrade commands I have tried result in this: > E: This installation run will require temporarily removing the essential > package python-minimal due to a Conflicts/Pre-> Depends loop. This is often > bad, but if you really want to do it, activate the APT::Force-LoopBreak > option. > E: Internal Error, Could not early remove python-minimal Actually, as I type this email, I made some progress: sudo dpkg --remove --force-all python-minimal sudo apt-get install -f update-manager > partial upgrade. Anyway, I got a bit nervous there, since I wasn't sure how much apt and dpkg depended on python to do their work (ie, removing python might remove my ability to manipulate packages). No harm no foul at this point. Since I wrote this email, I'm sending it. For those interested parties, instead of a bug report, treat this like a transient notification just like you get in the upper right.

I'm basically despairing about this since every time I touch OpenSSL to try to fix one set of bugs it appears to break something else (and I should add that I haven't been getting creative, and very much want *not* to get creative, I've just been applying fixes from upstream). Since I'm about to be diving head-first into release chaos, I strongly encourage anyone who can to try to figure out a fix that doesn't cause connection to the other sites we just fixed to regress! -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@ubuntu.com] -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

I Hi Ray It seems your problem is mising a dash: the command requires '-d' to attempt an upgrade to a development release, *not* 'd'. Please try with sudo do-release-upgrade -d and we will go from there.

Recent OpenSSL update that breaks cloudfront and rubygems.org?
The recent update to OpenSSL in Precise has rendered cloudfront.com unusable (as well as several other hosts which people have noted throughout other various bugs -- the one I discovered was https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssl/+bug/986147). Can we please get a fix since this breaks downloading from RubyGems.org on Precise and could potentially break quite a few development machines. Doing -tls1 or -ssl3 or enforcing a specific cipher allows it to work but this is a big problem considering it breaks many Python and Ruby applications like bundler, net/https, rubygems, and eventmachine (unless you work around it) and libraries and applications that rely on them. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

One comment I would like to make is about the 'new' Desktop Programs, both Gnome3, and Unity.

That can't be done in the Unity Interface. The ''Dashboard'' is a time waster in finding the Programs I want to run.
