ran sudo apt-get upgrade again, recieved same swat dialog prompt, answered the same, and install continued a little bit farther: ----- Setting up python-tk (2.5.1-0ubuntu1) ... Setting up unattended-upgrades (0.23ubuntu3) ... Errors were encountered while processing: swat E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) -----
ran again and this time told it to ignore the swat entries at which point the install finished without error. There are 38 packages which were not upgraded; how do I find out why? ----- The following packages have been kept back: apache-dev avahi-daemon bind9-host bittorrent cdda2wav cdrecord dnsutils dvd+rw-tools evince f-spot foo2zjs gdebi gnome-app-install gnome-volume-manager gnomebaker gnupg gxine libbind9-0 libbtctl4 libisccfg1 libmono-system1.0-cil libossp-uuid-perl libthunar-vfs-1-2 libxine1 linux-386 linux-headers-generic linux-image-386 linux-restricted-modules-386 mkisofs pdftohtml python-numpy python-numpy-ext tomboy ubuntu-artwork ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-docs usplash xubuntu-desktop ----- I can now run Synaptic again, with my password being accepted and the square boxes replaced with the familiar circles. "gksudo update-manager" also works again, though there is an error in the terminal on startup, "warning: could not initiate dbus" Update-manager reports 107 updates available. I'm confused as to why update-manager says this at the same time "sudo apt-get upgrade" reports 0. I'm going to restart my machine before trying this. -- distribution upgrade "A fatal error occured" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/116476 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
