Public bug reported: Binary package hint: libboost-python-dev
While performing an upgrade from intrepid to jaunty (using do-release- upgrade -d), an error occurs while setting up python 2.6. as part of the rtupdate hooks, the file /usr/share/python/runtime.d/libboost-python-dev.rtupdate is processed if libboost-python-dev is installed. The version of this file installed with intrepid does not have a stanza in it to support being passed python2.6 as an argument, so the install fails. Removing libboost-python-dev via dpkg --remove allows apt-get -f install to continue setting up packages. Reinstalling the package shows there is now a stanza for python 2.6. Sorry I don't have more specific output to paste, I lost the scrollback on my terminal while trying to fix the problem. ** Affects: boost (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- jaunty upgrade fails when libboost-python-dev is installed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/339100 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
