Public bug reported:
I atempted to upgrade Ubuntu from 5.10 to 6.06. During installation of upgrades
the tool reports "Could not install
'/var/cache/apt/archives/coreutils_5.93-5ubuntu4_i386.deb'".
and "subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 2".
(I have read the DapperReleaseNotes.)
How did I get there:
1) Run System>Administration>Update Manager
The Update Manager offered upgrade to 6.06.
2) Click Upgrade button
The tool will warn that downloading won't be cancellable and start downloading.
After downloading the procedure contines to probably install the new things.
When it reached approx 10%, the mesasge above showed.
3) I clicked OK
The tool
The upgrading tool expands embended terminal window and apparently continues
doing something (sorry, I did not watch it.)
Then it displayed:
Could not install the upgrades
The upgrade aborts now. Your system can be in an unusable state. A recovery was
run (dpkg --configure -a).
installArchives() failed
