As from the log file /var/log/dist-upgrade/term.log the upgrade procedure hanged here: (sorry it's in italian) Spacchetto il sostituto di kdebase-workspace-bin ... Mi preparo a sostituire kdebase-workspace-data 4:4.0.0-0ubuntu1~gutsy1 (con .../kdebase-workspace-data_4%3a4.0.3-0ubuntu2_all.deb) ... "term.log" [in sola lettura] 4420L, 271676C I found the update procedure stuck, I have been waiting around 15 minutes, and since everything was stuck, and there was no activity on the disk, and since I don't think installing such packages requires so much time, I decided to reboot, and proceed the upgrade by hand. As the update has been restarted, the file /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt-term.log contain several parts, appended when the update was restarted. Having a look into this file it seem the the operation from the above file never started, because it was really started during the second upgrade (installing kdebase-workspace-data): Mi preparo a sostituire kdebase-kde4 4:4.0.0-0ubuntu1~gutsy1 (con .../kdebase-kde4_4%3 Log started: 2008-04-26 12:21:15 (Lettura del database ... 191596 file e directory attualmente installati.)^M Mi preparo a sostituire kdebase-workspace-data 4:4.0.0-0ubuntu1~gutsy1 (con .../kdebase-workspace-data_4%3a4.0.3-0ubuntu2_all.deb) ...^M as you can see from the file: the installation started at "Log started: 2008-04-26 07:56:03" and it was hanging at: "Log started: 2008-04-26 12:21:15" It think it's too many time ....... ** Attachment added: "dist-upgrade.tar.gz" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14019598/dist-upgrade.tar.gz -- Release upgrade procedure "sucks" (from Gutsy to Hardy) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223542 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
