Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
Update-manager asks that I report this error on Dapper-to-Edgy upgrade
(i86), which prevents the desktop from coming up after system restart:
Could not install 'xkb-data'
failed in buffer_read(fd)
Many following X-related packages also failed with "dependency problems"
messages, which I presume are caused by the original error.
After system restart, X does not start. Using the console, I tried
sudo apt-get install --reinstall xkb-data
but it fails. The messages include this:
Setting up xkb-data (0.8-7ubuntu2) ...
dpkg: error processing xkb-data (--configure):
failed in buffer_read(fd): md5hash: Input/output error
I apologize for not including more, but it's difficult to transfer files
from the machine with no browser.
Does this mean the xkb-data package is corrupt and thus failing an md5
checksum?
