@Brian My two cents about such bug: " package xxxx is already installed and configured " - it have been seen at least since Precise - Apport blame dpkg - but i'm using 'synaptic' instead of the now defaulted 'software-center' in ubuntu, and never met such a bug on my systems - as i understand, when a package is installed & configured, its status is not updated as expected
So Software-center, or one of its dependencies, should be blamed instead of dpkg. Those are never fixed and upstream never know about them. Apport wrongly blame dpkg, and does not understand the repeating " package xxxx is already installed and configured " and is disturbed by the package name, which can be randomly every package in the archive. So it never detect duplicates in such a case. Looks like the now applied tests have missed such a possiblity. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1446880 Title: package iucode-tool 1.1.1-1 failed to install/upgrade: package iucode- tool is already installed and configured To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/apport/+bug/1446880/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
