** Description changed:
Binary package hint: update-manager
I was upgrading my Ubuntu 7.10 (completely updated) to Hardy.
The preparation and the download of packeges went ok.
When the system started to install/update/remowe packages, I got many,
atleast 20 notification like "package x couldn't be installed. The upgrde
continues,but the package x may be unworking." Some of these packages were
perl,login,xfailsafedialog, lib-wwwperlpasswd and sudo.
Also the system asked twice if I want to overwrite or keep a configuration
file. These files were edited by me.
But then I got an notification (see attachement) that the upgrade was
stopped (installArchives()failed ). As you can see, part of this attachement is
in Finnish, but it says that the upgrade was stopped and that the dpkg
--configure -a was run.
From the embeded terminal I could see (it's not visible on the attachement)
that the last text was something like that:
"/etc/readahead/boot configuration file is changed
--> You have the following choices...", but I didn't see any dialog to choose
the overwrite/keeping of the original file as in the 2 previvous time.
Then nothing happened, so I rebooted my system and the booting to login
screen failed. I had to boot to recovery mode and run these commands:
- dpkg --reconfigure -a, dpkg --reconfigure --force all -a, aptide
dist-upgrade. The last command seemed to complete the upgrade as I could boot
to Hardy after reboot.
+ dpkg --reconfigure -a, dpkg --reconfigure -a --force all, apt-get install -f,
apt-get reinstall dbus and aptide dist-upgrade. The last command seemed to
complete the upgrade as I could boot to Hardy after reboot.
+
+ Edit: When I run dpkg --reconfigure -a, the system asked what I want to
+ do with the /etc/readahead/boot configuration file; I choosed to
+ overwrite it. I haven't edited this file. That command failed
+ finally,after configuring some packages with something like this: "E:
+ Too many errors,aborting", soI run dpkg --reconfigure -a --force all,
+ which said many times something like this: "the dependency x is not
+ configured, but configuring anyway as forced" . Also it gave error
+ messages about dbus so i reinstalled it with apt-get reinstall dbus.
