Public bug reported: Binary package hint: adept
Trying to upgrade from Hardy to Karmic with adept_updater fails if python-qt4 is not installed. It shows this unhelpful message: Unable to get exclusive lock This usually means that another package management application (like apt-get or aptitude) [sic] already running. Please close that application first. Running sudo adept_updater gave a hint about python-qt4 which you don't have with the GUI. Once python-qt4 was installed it went OK (except for flashplugin- nonfree). ** Affects: adept (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Dist upgrade from Hardy to Karmic does not work without python-qt4 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/487014 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
