OK, so this is my problem: the upgrade process hangs eternally at chillispot postinstall. I have to kill -9 the pid of update-manager. After that I cannot sudo apt-get remove chillispot:
root# apt-get remove chillispot /var/lib/dpkg/lock unable to open lock (or something) you must run dpkg --configure -a manually When I do that: /var/lib/dpkg/lock ... (as above) the trick is: root# kill -9 'pidof jaunty' When I run update-manager -c -d in Intrepid it says: downloading upgrading tool (2 files) I take it this is 'jaunty'? Please refer me to the debug symbols, thank you! [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-get source jaunty Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...
