Thank you in advance! ** Changed in: libxml-sax-perl (Ubuntu Precise) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed ** Tags added: verification-needed ** Description changed: [rationale] libxml-sax-expat-perl has a prerm calling a script from libxml-sax-perl, this script uses SAX.pm which uses Basename for the dirname function. This function is broken at the time the code runs. - This breaks 10.04 to 12.04 upgrades when done without connectivity. + This breaks 10.04 to 12.04 upgrades when done without connectivity and + may cause breakage in other cases too. [test case] 1) Install Ubuntu 10.04 desktop 2) Update it 3) Disconnect from the internet 4) Insert 12.04.1 alternate media 5) Upgrade [regression potential] Implementation was copy/pasted from that in doc-base, matching perl changes were also copied from what was done in doc-base, so risk of regression should be very low. - - In the last day or so, I upgraded Ubuntu from 11.04 to 11.10, then to 12.04. The upgrade to 12.04 was first done using an alternate install CD, then further updates were made from the Internet. A partial upgrade was made after rebooting. This error showed up more than one time before I reported it. The computer is a gBox P4 model around 8-10 years old. + In the last day or so, I upgraded Ubuntu from 11.04 to 11.10, then to + 12.04.
