Thanks for your reply. Yes, you're right, and I understood as much, too. My point in reporting the bug was, this was a freshly upgraded system, I hadn't even had a chance to mess it up yet. So there might be a little bug somewhere in package dependencies, user shouldn't need to turn to apt-get to fix a freshly upgraded system I think.
No idea if this is significant but subsequent tries to boot into the "netbook" session don't crash anymore - the session just shows an empty screen (apart from the desktop background image). Also, I just noticed this looks like a duplicate of #1041773. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1078791 Title: package default-jre-headless (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk', which is also in package openjdk-6 -jre-headless 6b24-1.11.5-0ubuntu1~10.04.2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/java-common/+bug/1078791/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
