Unfortunately I think this isn't enough for anyone to understand what happened in your case. This is a problem statement, not a bug report. Clearly a simple upgrade on a fresh install of jessie works; otherwise we would have thousands of bug reports. Something must be different on your system, but we do not know what that is. Please provide full steps to reproduce your problem so that we may figure that out. > I see that several bugs have been filed and marked as RESOLVED, how > they can be resolved when it is happening over and over again. Because they are different bugs with different root causes. This particular issue was determined to be something that needs to be fixed in akonadi packaging and is now being tracked in bug 843534. Presumably though you have a different issue as you did not mention akonadi in your bug report. Please understand that your report cannot be addressed because you have not provided enough information. If this angers you, try reading http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html which is a great essay that explains this problem well. Please file a new bug report with full steps on how to reproduce your bug. If it turns out to have a common root cause, we can always mark it as a duplicate later. Robie
