Today, on Wheezy, I got a notification from apper that an update was available (as I fairly often get).
It was for firefox-esr, and, when I went to allow the update, I got a notice that libjsonpp0 (not sure the blurb included the pp0) also needed to be updated. For the first time (in probably 2+ years of using Wheezy, maybe much longer) (and subject to the vagaries of my selective and failing memory), the update failed. A portion of the dpkg log is shown below. From the log, it seems some things are half installed. I have three questions: * is my machine in trouble--I mean, if I shut down Firefox and try to restart it, will I have a problem? * what is the best way to resolve the issue--perhaps wait a few days, don't (intentionally) shut down Firefox, and hope that a new update becomes available in a few days? * I guess I should also ask: should I report this somewhere? <exerpt from the dpkg log--previous entry is from days earlier> `= 2017-06-19 07:14:08 startup archives unpack 2017-06-19 07:14:08 upgrade libexpat1:amd64 2.1.0-1+deb7u4 2.1.0-1+deb7u5 2017-06-19 07:14:08 status half-configured libexpat1:amd64 2.1.0-1+deb7u4 2017-06-19 07:14:08 status unpacked libexpat1:amd64 2.1.0-1+deb7u4 2017-06-19 07:14:08 status half-installed libexpat1:amd64 2.1.0-1+deb7u4 2017-06-19 07:14:08 status half-installed libexpat1:amd64 2.1.0-1+deb7u4 2017-06-19 07:14:08 status unpacked libexpat1:amd64 2.1.0-1+deb7u5 2017-06-19 07:14:08 status unpacked libexpat1:amd64 2.1.0-1+deb7u5 2017-06-19 07:14:08 install libjsoncpp0:amd64 <none> 0.6.0~rc2-3 2017-06-19 07:14:08 status half-installed libjsoncpp0:amd64 0.6.0~rc2-3 2017-06-19 07:14:08 status unpacked libjsoncpp0:amd64 0.6.0~rc2-3 2017-06-19 07:14:08 status unpacked libjsoncpp0:amd64 0.6.0~rc2-3 2017-06-19 07:14:08 upgrade firefox-esr:amd64 45.9.0esr-1~deb7u1 52.2.0esr-1~deb7u1 2017-06-19 07:14:08 status half-configured firefox-esr:amd64 45.9.0esr-1~deb7u1 2017-06-19 07:14:08 status unpacked firefox-esr:amd64 45.9.0esr-1~deb7u1 2017-06-19 07:14:08 status half-installed firefox-esr:amd64 45.9.0esr-1~deb7u1 2017-06-19 07:14:10 status triggers-pending mime-support:all 3.52-1+deb7u1 2017-06-19 07:14:10 status half-installed firefox-esr:amd64 45.9.0esr-1~deb7u1 2017-06-19 07:14:10 status triggers-pending man-db:amd64 2.6.2-1 2017-06-19 07:14:10 status half-installed firefox-esr:amd64 45.9.0esr-1~deb7u1 2017-06-19 07:14:10 status triggers-pending desktop-file-utils:amd64 0.20-0.1 2017-06-19 07:14:10 status half-installed firefox-esr:amd64 45.9.0esr-1~deb7u1 2017-06-19 07:14:11 status triggers-pending hicolor-icon-theme:all 0.12-1 2017-06-19 07:14:11 status half-installed firefox-esr:amd64 45.9.0esr-1~deb7u1 2017-06-19 07:14:11 status half-installed firefox-esr:amd64 45.9.0esr-1~deb7u1 2017-06-19 07:14:11 status unpacked firefox-esr:amd64 52.2.0esr-1~deb7u1 2017-06-19 07:14:11 status unpacked firefox-esr:amd64 52.2.0esr-1~deb7u1 2017-06-19 07:14:11 upgrade iceweasel:all 45.9.0esr-1~deb7u1 52.2.0esr-1~deb7u1 2017-06-19 07:14:11 status half-configured iceweasel:all 45.9.0esr-1~deb7u1 2017-06-19 07:14:11 status unpacked iceweasel:all 45.9.0esr-1~deb7u1 2017-06-19 07:14:11 status half-installed iceweasel:all 45.9.0esr-1~deb7u1 2017-06-19 07:14:11 status half-installed iceweasel:all 45.9.0esr-1~deb7u1 2017-06-19 07:14:11 status half-installed iceweasel:all 45.9.0esr-1~deb7u1 2017-06-19 07:14:11 status unpacked iceweasel:all 52.2.0esr-1~deb7u1 2017-06-19 07:14:11 status unpacked iceweasel:all 52.2.0esr-1~deb7u1 2017-06-19 07:14:11 trigproc mime-support:all 3.52-1+deb7u1 3.52-1+deb7u1 2017-06-19 07:14:11 status half-configured mime-support:all 3.52-1+deb7u1 2017-06-19 07:14:11 status installed mime-support:all 3.52-1+deb7u1 2017-06-19 07:14:11 trigproc man-db:amd64 2.6.2-1 2.6.2-1 2017-06-19 07:14:11 status half-configured man-db:amd64 2.6.2-1 2017-06-19 07:14:11 trigproc desktop-file-utils:amd64 0.20-0.1 0.20-0.1 2017-06-19 07:14:11 status half-configured desktop-file-utils:amd64 0.20-0.1 ='
