Public bug reported:
Hi,
I had this bug recently while upgrading my ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04
I was upgrading via synaptic and at a point it crashed.
After that I re-run dpkg 1-2 times and it remembered its progress and
went all fine.
In the end it ran its --configure process...
I had to run dpkg --configure -a
or
dpkg --configure syslinux
dpkg --configure extlinux
I think extlinux is some virtual package around syslinux..
Anyways - no matter how one gets to it - the matter is - when you
configure syslinux via dpkg - this below happnes:
The bug is:
I get a
----
:~$ sudo dpkg --configure extlinux
Setting up extlinux (2:4.05+dfsg-2) ...
P: Checking for EXTLINUX directory... found.
P: Writing config for /boot/vmlinuz-3.0.0-15-generic-pae...
P: Writing config for /boot/vmlinuz-3.0.0-14-generic-pae...
E: /usr/share/syslinux/themes/debian/extlinux: No such file or directory
----
A workaround solution is to symlink /usr/share/syslinux/themes/debian
-> /usr/share/syslinux/themes/debian-squeeze
cause it is the only one dir present in themes ...
The dpkg script should check for a debian-* folder in there if there is a
"debian" folder missing ...
--
Actually just purging and installing again extlinux makes the symlinks
on its own...
We neeed to check that this symlink happens also on upgrades...
