I am having a similar error in intrepid. During a large update the update manager reported that not all packages installed correctly and made this suggestion:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. After attempting the command in the terminal I got this: dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:221: process_queue: Assertion `dependtry <= 4' failed. E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg exited unexpectedly. The original update included several of the packages listed above; such as, cups, cupsys and gxine. After receiving these errors during the update, I continued using the system normally and the nividia-177 video driver began malfunctioning when I tried to run wine+wow in a dedicated x-server causing a system crash. Wow under wine has worked flawlessly on this system for months. Maybe the partially failed update and the video driver thing are unrelated or it is due to the recent wow patch. However, the machine rebooted with the video drivers unloaded and I get the same dkpg errors when trying to re-install the video drivers. -- 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
