[Bug 105362] Re: Upgrade issue from Dapper to Edgy
Well - not sure if it helps, but this issue magically went away after I did this. I'm not sure which one worked, but one of these apt installs fixed the issue. I was trying to pay attention, but i must have missed it. Ubuntu-desktop, ubuntu-minimal and ubuntu-standard where already installed. Perhaps the reinstallion of ubuntu-standard fixed it? The only other weird thing that may or may not matter was the 5 packages held back, that I just removed, which seems to not be dependant on anything. They were all python packages. Here's what i did from bash history sudo apt-get install ubuntu-standard sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic sudo apt-get install geany sudo apt-get install gnumeric aspell abiword aspell-en aspell-fr build-essential firestarter fluxbox gparted gscan2pdf kolourpaint kmymoney2 ktorrent msttcorefonts myspell-fr-gut myspell-en-us opera p7zip-full rar unrar readahead preload streamripper streamtuner subversion thunar totem-mozilla w32codecs vlc wine xarchiver zim youtranslate zenity flashplugin-nonfree fluxconf flpsed gftp gnomebaker gnome-translate gnucash mplayer gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly sun-java5-jre vmware-player sudo apt-get install wine And the 5 python packages python-gadfly python-htmltmpl python-kjbuckets python-soappy python-syck Also, tried this first.

[Bug 105362] Re: Upgrade issue from Dapper to Edgy
sorry last comment - trying to be helpful - before I did all those things, I updated and added all the edgy sources - so universe, multiverse, which are not enabled in the default install. Update and trying a dist-upgrade then did not fix the issue. But installing all those packages - something was upgraded in python, or extra installed that fixed it apparently? -- Upgrade issue from Dapper to Edgy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/105362 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It would appear there's some special character in your apt that python doesn't like. I found this in relation to the bug. Hope it helps. "Python's character set support is horrid. Unfortunately, Python assumes that everything is ASCII by default, rather than a more sensible choice like UTF-8. This bug occurs when special characters exist.

here's the dist-upgrade log - as I said this is a straight install from the dapper live cd, boot into dapper, and dist-upgrade. I should clarify that I kept my home directory from the previous installation. My upgrade to feisty hosed the system partition, via the AOpen kernel bug. ** Attachment added: "apt.log" http://librarian.launchpad.net/7259897/apt.log -- Upgrade issue from Dapper to Edgy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/105362 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
