I can add the logs but I can also tell you what happened. Turns out in /var/lib/dpkg/info/apt.postinst there is a function called:
set_apt_proxy_from_gconf What’s more is down a ways in the script it calls this line and that is what makes it fail. I'm going to hazard a guess that since this is Kubuntu there is not enough stuff there for gconf to work. I don't use a proxy so I commented out the call and the surrounding if (3 lines) and then dpkg was able to configure everything and all was well. Well, then I have the usual hassle with Nvidia and VirtualBox, but that's another issue ;-) -- Upgrade reports could not install apt https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/571995 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
