Bug Confirmed, indeed: During upgrade I had gnome-icon-teme post-installation script returining error exit status 1. sed errors in grub gnome-control-center, eog, evince, gnome-panel, software-center ubuntu-mono evolution brasero, rythmbox, kile gdebi, monodevelop, texlive, apturi, and soooooo many packages I don't really care writing them all with dependency problems. Installation reported errors on exit and that the system may have been left in an unusable state.
If this happens to all Spanish utf8 users of ubuntu, wow, they will be scared! I immediately opened a terminal and, by regenerating the locale-archive and sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a (the install script said it was going to try dpkg-reconfigure and I got lots of questions, answered the defaults) and sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade SOLVED the issue (no more dependency problems, sucessful reboot 2.6.35-22). Anyway, I think that I actually shouldn't have needed to run dpkg-reconfigure -a after all (didn't do in my first computer). P.S.: Is it possible to change the title of the bug? I mean, now that we see that something went wrong with locales during upgrade, the title would be better as "locale corrupted during upgrade to Maverick; es_ES.utf8 causing buggy behaviour and dependency problems in sed, apt, texlive, ...". Then, somebody "googling" for answers to their problems maybe would find it in an easier way the LANG_C or the mv locale-archive workarounds. -- apt-get fails with LANG=es_ES.utf8, succeeds with LANG=C https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/663694 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
