I'm back tonight. Here is what I did after having the above problem to try and solve that (I'm not sure whether it's the right place, sorry if it is not). I first made sure that no package manager program was running, then I typed the following: sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock sudo apt-get install #it gave me the following advice, which I followed: sudo dpkg --configure -a It restarted the installation for the above mentioned broken packages, starting with "Paramétrage de debconf (1.5.14ubuntu1) ..." (there are still dependency problems with 'gs-common' and 'gs-esp' ['ghostscript' lacking])
I checked that "debconf (1.5.14ubuntu1) " is for 7.10 (1.5.13ubuntu1 is for 7.04), so I guess it's a good sign. Then I started again adept-manager (from the icon), clicking "update everything". It started downoading eveything again. When it'll be finished (in a few hours...) I'll try to reboot and I'll post here if it worked. -- Could not install 'debconf' during System upgrade 7.04 to 7.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147429 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
