Been quiet on the list. Upgrade from Ubuntu 14.10 to 15.04. Apt seems to be hung up with removing a single file - which is old and not needed. But because of this the upgrade is severely screwed up. Not sure if it will boot again properly. I just downloaded an 15.04 iso to burn to a usbstick to act as a rescue if needed.
Package is octave3.2-info, for some reason it has dependencies on perl. Perl is apparently used by a lot of packages in some way, and all of these necessary packages are "half installed". It got so bad that dist-upgrade hung because there were too many errors. There is some sort of directory issue, which generates an error message if I attempt to apt-get remove octave3.2-info. I think, if I can remove or delete this file (and remove references to it) perhaps the rest of the install will go through. This, of course sound 'dangerous' but I have run out of ideas. Any suggestions? apt-get -f install returns the error message. apt-get remove returns the same error. Looking for a few ideas. I'll try to use some of them tonight to attempt a fix. Got to visit Mom now...
