Unfortunately I've experienced the hang using apt 0.7.6ubuntu14. When the update with apt 0.7.6ubuntu14 came out, there were also some openoffice.org files that wanted to update. I intentionally installed apt and apt-utils 0.7.6ubuntu14 first. Then did apt-get update to pick up the openoffice.org files, and during that update, the apt-get tool hung twice. the first time was on:
Preparing to replace openoffice.org-core 1:2.3.0-1ubuntu4 (using .../openoffice.org-core_1%3a2.3.0-1ubuntu5_i386.deb) ... Unpacking replacement openoffice.org-core ... I don't recall where it hung the second time, apparently I only recorded the first one. Was that before or after I fixed my locale problem? I don't know. What happened: when I ran k3b, it complained about a locale problem. I had LANG="en_US.UTF-8" set from /etc/environment, but I had LC_ALL="POSIX" set in my .bashrc. Now I have changed my .bashrc to set only LC_COLLATE="POSIX" and LC_TIME="POSIX", and k3b works again. There's nothing to upgrade at the moment, but I will post my next experience, positive or negative. -- update-manager freezes due to defunct dpkg process https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/134858 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
