I just added myself as "having this issue" but the more I look at it the more I believe this is a filesystem issue. Both my /var/lib/dpkg and /var/cache/debconf directories look unhealthy (files appear to be truncated, corrupted, etc.)
This is on a laptop system running on a SSD ex4 with no journal (i.e. very susceptible to problems on ungraceful shutdown). You could argue this is not an application issue, but the package manager is such an essential part and the filesystem structure is so complicated, I wonder if some sort of integrity tests/better diagnostics might be called for. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/13130 Title: Debconf uninitialized variable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debconf/+bug/13130/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
