Public bug reported:
While upgrading from Kubuntu on two separate systems (entirely different
specs) kubuntu-devel-release-upgrade crashed/locked up at the same point
--- configuring MIME. I'm sorry I don't have more information. The error
message was lost (KDEInit could no longer "initialize"). Had to go to
TTY to save the upgrade.
Terminal said something about "a loop" error (on both systems) before
killing kubuntu-devel-release-upgrade and returning to the prompt. If
anyone else stumbles on this BUG, as the hitch-hikers guide to the
galaxy says: DON"T PANIC.
1.) Logout.
2.) CTRL+ALT+F1 (TTY)
3.) (Login)
4.) sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock (This will release the -false- lock
kubuntu-devel-release-upgrade had.)
5.) sudo dpkg --configure -a (This will continue the installation.)
6.) sudo apt-get autoremove
7.) sudo apt dist-upgrade (normally nothing needs updating)
8.) sudo apt-get autoclean
9.) shutdown -r now
