This bug broke my upgrade today. It really should move the old bin/ aside if not empty, instead of failing. Aborted dist-upgrades are bad.
What happened today was: - I changed apt/sources.list to point to a new release. - I ran "apt-get dist-upgrade", and apt happily started making changes. - x11-common failed, so apt aborted. - I manually resolved the error (remove everything from /usr/X11R6/bin) At this point, apt could not continue its dist-upgrade. Apt could only "apt-get -f install", which meant removing several hundred packages. So, I spent the rest of the day recovering. -- x11-common preinst script fails (was: aborts /usr/X11R6/bin not empty) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/67996 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
