> This is not a dpkg bug, but a (potential) bug in one of the packages that was being configured.
If a bug in a single package causes dpkg to be unable to install *any* other package, then there *is* a bug in dpkg, or in some other part of the package management system. (btw, there is also a bug in the OS if the whole system stalls beyond recovery because of a misbehaving program, be it dpkg or the buggy package) > Without logs telling us exactly who to blame and how, there's not much we can do here. I reported the bug using "ubuntu-bug dpkg". Correctme if I am wrong: what tells ubuntu-bug which files to include in the report is the package itself, that is, in this case, the dpkg package, right? If so, if some relevant file was not included in this report, something is wrong in the package. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1523002 Title: dpkg systematically freezes the whole system, can't install anything To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/1523002/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
