amazingly i've managed to get round / resolve the problem. My set up is such that I've got a system on two partitions. One partition contains the current release, the other contains the previous. I was taking my old, 9.04, forward to 10.04. Two options. Either let the 9.04 upgrade to 9.10 then upgrade to 10.04 else do a clean install then have to reload the other previously downloaded programs and anything else I needed. I cut an installation disk but thought I'd try the upgrade option. 9.04 to 9.10 went ok then started the 10.04 upgrade, on the same partition. This produced the error and the install aborted.
The solution. I started my 9.10 system and ran a grub-update. Re-booted and selected the 10.04 recovery option. Selected the fix packages option, which failed. Selected root with network option. Entered "dpkg --configure -f " and "apt-get install -f " which again aborted. Entered configure again and managed to halt the scroll to see and error with something called "defoma" which suggested a fix. Entered "defoma -reconfigure -f ", followed by "dpkg --configure -f " and "apt-get install -f " Success. Re-booted and selected normal 10.04 grub option and hey presto I'm in business with 10.04. Since 09.10 used old grub and 9.10 started using grub2, I've upgraded grub to grub 2. I'm using 10.04 to write this entry. -- package libpango1.0-common 1.28.0-0ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/573584 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
