None of the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade have been changed for about a week at least, the beginning of the month at most. So, I guess those won't help us. :-(
One thing though: I did a force kill of update-manager, and restarted the system. When I tried to bring up synaptic to reinstall all the packages that were upgraded before the error happened (just to be safe), it told me I needed to run "dpkg --configure -a" because dpkg was terminated. So, I opened a terminal and ran that (with sudo, of course), and here's the output I got: ---------------------- Setting up gconf2-common (2.22.0-0ubuntu2) ... Setting up libgconf2-4 (2.22.0-0ubuntu2) ... Setting up gconf2 (2.22.0-0ubuntu2) ... dpkg: error processing gnome-applets-data (--configure): Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting configuration. Processing triggers for libc6 ... ldconfig deferred processing now taking place Errors were encountered while processing: gnome-applets-data ---------------------- So, it looks like the problem is in gnome-applets-data, not gconf2. Can someone please fix that in the bug report for me? -- update-manager hangs when installing latest gconf2 in hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/217786 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
