I was trying to perform a desktop LTS - to - desktop LTS upgrade and ended up with what looked like a depedency hell. In other words, a window popped up and explained in (some form of) French that dependencies could not be resolved, the upgrade failed and my system reverted back to Dapper. I tried a second time, same result.
In both cases, the command line looked like this: $ gksu "update-manager -d" warnings.warn("apt API not stable yet", FutureWarning) extracting '/tmp/tmpZg150V/hardy.tar.gz' authenticate '/tmp/tmpZg150V/hardy.tar.gz' against '/tmp/tmpZg150V/hardy.tar.gz.gpg' WARNING: Failed to read mirror file WARNING: Failed to read mirror file I meant to get a screen capture in order to get the full message in English, so I tried this, but then it worked: $ export LANG=C $ gksu "update-manager -d" warnings.warn("apt API not stable yet", FutureWarning) extracting '/tmp/tmpo5KXdQ/hardy.tar.gz' authenticate '/tmp/tmpo5KXdQ/hardy.tar.gz' against '/tmp/tmpo5KXdQ/hardy.tar.gz.gpg' WARNING: Failed to read mirror file WARNING: Failed to read mirror file Then pop-up message gave three "reasons" for failure (all revolving around unsupported packages, which does not really make much sense in my case). Anyway, here is my /var/log/dist-upgrade, sorry I do not have files showing the failure. I would suspect that my problem is related with calculating depencies failing when the locale is not "C". ** Attachment added: "apt.log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13780512/apt.log -- LTS-to-LTS upgrade failed on python https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194678 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
