Same here while upgrading KUbuntu 7.04 to 7.10 following the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades
/var/crash contains -rw------- 1 root root 8809087 Oct 29 11:00 _usr_share_debconf_frontend.0.crash -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 212 Oct 29 11:00 debconf.0.crash -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 168 Oct 29 11:05 x11-common.0.crash ----- debconf.0.crash start ------------- ProblemType: Package Date: Mon Oct 29 11:00:26 2007 ErrorMessage: ErrorMessage: subprocess post-installation script killed by signal (Segmentation fault), core dumped Package: debconf SourcePackage: debconf ----- debconf.0.crash end ------------- I rebootet and finished the upgrade procedure using apt-get: apt-get install -f apt-get dist-upgrade I wish I had done it this way right from the start! All you have to do is in sources.list replace "feisty" by "gutsy". I wonder why nowadays people favor eye-candy frontend tools over the commandline although the latter offesr the more robust solution. Even the web page does not mention how to upgrade using apt-get. This is a pity. -- segfault of debconf during the upgrade (was: Upgrade tool crashed with "Could not instoll 'debconf'") https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/133267 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
