Yes -- that was it! (Thanks very much for the information.) In this installation the wubi resides in a FAT32 partition. Taking one suggestion in the Bug #252900 thread, I copied the /boot directory off to an ext3 partition (using rsync) and then mounted that over the original /boot directory.
The update went without error. I unmounted the updated ext3 directory, and copied it back to the original /boot. The only thing I noticed was the permissions of the new files did not match -- it was simple to use chmod 755 * to correct that. -- during an update there was some error with creating an archive -- sorry -- did not copy the message down! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/268427 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
