Agreed, and I seem to remember that I was the one to have pestered Colin until he wrote this :) BUT, this implies that the user of apt-get does know what he is doing (e.g, update the current distro completely before upgrading; install ubuntu-desktop) and is prepared to deal with fallout such as conflicts and the need to run apt-get -f install repeatedly without freaking out. I don't think that the OP provided enough information to understand what went wrong during his upgrade; it does seem that he may have tried update-manager first and resorted to the manual process only once it failed. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
