Hi, Did you notice if the old instance of the updater was open? If more than one instance of synaptic, system update, or add/remove programs is open then any subsequent updating programs are "locked" from making changes.
Has this happened again? If so, when and how? ** Changed in: synaptic (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- broken packages,synaptic crashed with the gimp update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/149048 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
