From a user perspective the upgrade hanged. ** Summary changed: - update-manager -d hung during upgrade (libc6, Oneiric to Precise) + oneiric to precise: debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Gnome and falls back to Dialog ** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/979661 Title: oneiric to precise: debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Gnome and falls back to Dialog To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/979661/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
