This almost certainly means you have some very serious problems - either kernel bugs (if you're using exotic filesystems or block devices) or, much more likely, serious hardware problems causing filesystem corruption. I'm going to set this bug to `Rejected' on the assumption that it's a hardware fault. If you have some reason to think it's the kernel please file another bug. Thanks, Ian. ** Changed in: dpkg (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Rejected -- upgrade fails on dselect {Feisty} https://launchpad.net/bugs/87721 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
