Public bug reported:
While upgrading from Hardy (8.04) to Intrepid (8.10) via the Updates
Manager, there were a number of errors, the last few of which I took
screenshots of and selectively compiled into one PNG image for use here.
After the "upgrade" had finished with so many errors, a couple of which
seemed fatal to the upgrade, I loaded the updates manager again, where I
received more errors, but this might be because I had not yet restarted
the system. I then did reboot into Linux (I'm dual-booting Vista Home
Premium as well) from Grub and got a couple more errors, although it did
seem to boot using the new kernel, which I was happy about given the
volume of error messages regarding the 2.6.27-7 kernel package
installation. As I said above, I did not capture every error message,
but the ones I did take are included in the attachment, from top to
bottom chronologically, and their translations are below.
1.) The dialogue box reads, "We're sorry; the installation or update of
package 'update-manager' failed." This is immediately after I got a
similar one about the kernel's package. At the bottom of the terminal,
note the error about GConf, but that has to do with not being able to
find the config server and is probably not relevant.
2.) When I clicked "report the error" of course it tried to open
Firefox, which caused it to give me another slew of errors about that
for some reason. (Firefox was not running, but maybe there was a ghost
process that caused this.) The rearmost dialogue box reads "The updates
could not be installed. The update will be interrupted now. Your system
could be left in an unusable state. It is carrying out a recovery (dpkg
--configure -a)." The last line in the upgrade window's terminal after
the bit about GConf (same error as before, by the way) reads: "intrepid:
Fatal IO error (invalid file descriptor) on X server :0.0."
3.) This is where I (stupidly) reopened the updates window to try again,
where by the way it acknowledged that it had been updated by no longer
offering me 8.10 as an option at the top. When I attempted to install
the 27 updates it found, it shortly spit out the following errors. I
think the active window is giving a recap of all the major kernel errors
it found ("An error has been produced. The following details are
provided:"). From top to bottom, the error descriptions read: "the post-
installation script subprocess returned an error code of 3" with the
rest echoing "dependency problems - left without being configured".
4-5.) After I restarted, there was the expected notification (hidden
behind the odd one in front) about the update's panel change about the
exit button, but along with this balloon about the fact that it found an
error on start-up. When I clicked the icon, it displayed the dialogue
box in picture #5, which says "We're sorry; the installation or update
of the 'linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic 2.6.27-7.15' package failed." Using
the shown "Report problem" button brought me here.
To recap: although it appears to have upgraded successfully, there were
a number of severe errors regarding the kernel packages in the process.
Just something to look into; if I find out that the update was not
entirely successful, I will annotate this report to reflect that.
