Thanks for following up Russell. You've provided all the right
information. Those log files I asked for are the critical thing for
update manager bugs. I'm getting a bit out of my depth now but it looks
like your problems are related to a package called bash-completion. apt-
term.log ends with
Errors were encountered while processing:
bash-completion
Log ended: 2008-04-12 20:39:22
Looking earlier in the same log I found a lot of nonsense characters but once I
filtered out the noise I was left with the following
################################
Setting up bash-completion (20060301-3ubuntu2) ...
Package configuration
Modified configuration file
A new version of configuration file /etc/bash_completion is available,
but the version installed currently has been locally modified.
What would you like to do about bash_completion?
install the package maintainer's version
keep the local version currently installed
show the differences between the versions
show a side-by-side difference between the versions
start a new shell to examine the situation <Ok>
keep the local version currently installed

q
dpkg: error processing bash-completion (--configure):

##################################
It looks like the system was asking for some input. Do you remember seeing this
and can you remember what response you gave?
I think there might be two separate issues here. If I look at Russells main.log
I find
###########################
ERROR got an error from dpkg for pkg: 'bash-completion': 'subprocess
post-installation script killed by signal (Interrupt)'
2008-04-12 20:35:12,087 DEBUG running apport_pkgfailure() bash-completion:
subprocess post-installation script killed by signal (Interrupt)
###########################
In comparison zapodots main.log has the following
###########################
ERROR SystemError from cache.commit(): E:Internal Error, Could not perform
immediate configuration (2) on libpam0g
2008-04-11 08:59:23,370 WARNING cache.commit() raised a SystemError but
pkg_failures count is 0

###########################
Sorry for the huge report. In summary, Russell, thanks for following
through on this. If you can remember what you answered to the questions
about bash-completion that would be great. Then it's over to the
developers to figure out what this all means.
