Public bug reported: Binary package hint: dpkg
Just upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10. During the upgrade process a problem was reported when it tried to upgrade virtualbox (which previously was not in the repos and had to be installed manually). However, after everything was said and done I rebooted and everything looked fine until I tried to install or upgrade anything. Everytime I receive an error similar to this: sudo apt-get upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages will be REMOVED: lirc setserial The following packages will be upgraded: libvte-common libvte9 python-vte tzdata tzdata-java virtualbox-ose-dkms 6 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 2 to remove and 0 not upgraded. 4 not fully installed or removed.
