I believe that this may be specific to amd64 at this point in time. The problem is that libpango1.0-0 is upgraded quite early, and it Depends: libc6 (>= 2.14) on amd64 (but only >= 2.4 on other architectures). When libpango1.0-0 has been unpacked, 'use Gtk2;' fails:
Can't load '/usr/lib/perl5/auto/Pango/Pango.so' for module Pango: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpango-1.0.so.0) at /usr/lib/perl/5.12/DynaLoader.pm line 192. at /usr/lib/perl5/Gtk2.pm line 31 Compilation failed in require at /usr/lib/perl5/Gtk2.pm line 31. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib/perl5/Gtk2.pm line 31. Compilation failed in require. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted. Now, there's something else wrong, because the log shows the Gnome frontend failing to load even after the new libc6 has been unpacked. I think I'm along the right lines here, though. I have a suspicion that fixing bug 850264 may work around this in practice; the unsatisfied pre-dependency while trying to unpack libnih1 points to a problem in apt, and fixing that might well force libc6 to be unpacked earlier and hence avoid this problem. I wouldn't mind some confirmation of that, though. -- 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
