This happend to me today while upgrading my intrepid to latest packages. dpkg always crashed while --configure -a
A dpkg --audit showed me The following packages are only half configured, probably due to problems configuring them the first time. The configuration should be retried using dpkg --configure <package> or the configure menu option in dselect: gxine the xine video player, GTK+/Gnome user interface After manually removing gxine (dpkg --remove gxine) the problem went away. -- dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:221: process_queue: Assertion `dependtry <= 4' failed. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/262451 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
