I cannot help but yelling: Guys, what the H*LL is up with this bug!?
- I still do hit this problem when upgrading to 16.04LTS (point .4) from
14.04LTS (from 12.04LTS)
- this package state likely is NOT treatable (not without major knowledgeable
effort)
- BLOCKER: this package state is said to fully (and persistently!) block
updating of the entire system (comment #9)
- this bug (which affects the latest *stable* distro version, i.e. something
which one would expect "to be permanently working nevermind what is going on")
has been reported a whopping nearly TWO YEARS ago
- I completely do not grasp purpose of the latest comment activities (#13, #14
and additions), especially since in my "normal" end user side use case things
currently are NOT fixed
(possibly Fix Committed means that it's fixed on repo side, to be landing on
distribution side - however we're now ONE YEAR after that state transition,
too!)
Rant side note: personal decision: shunning Ubuntu now, preferring Debian
(after having discovered recently after 14.04LTS upgrade that:
- DHCP lease time handling for a supposedly-very-normal suspend-to-RAM use case
*still* is broken as it was in 12.04 - a MAJOR (since
larger-environment-corrupting-beyond-local-system) issue!
- keyboard meta keys kernel crash still existing in new kernel version of 14.04
vs. 12.04
)
While this issue seems to be locally workaround-solvable in a sufficiently
benign manner by:
editing
/var/lib/dpkg/info/gcc-doc.prerm
to
install-info --quiet --dir-file /usr/share/info/dir --remove
/usr/share/info/gcc.info.gz
install-info --quiet --dir-file /usr/share/info/dir --remove
/usr/share/info/gccint.info.gz
(from
install-info --quiet --remove gcc
install-info --quiet --remove gccint
)
and then doing
apt-get install --reinstall gcc-doc
, this is a thoroughly complex manual fix which is as distant as imaginable
from an { automatically usability-preserving | easily after-the-fact-doable |
semi-easily after-the-fact-doable } installation activity.
Again: BLOCKER.
