[Bug 146943] Re: Update to gutsy failed
I can still confirm this issue on an upgrade (7.04 to gutsy-rc) started 16-Oct afternoon US Pacific time. I hit the original python-apt issue, but the install continued behind the error window. When it finally aborted, it ran 'dpkg --configure -a' which eventually failed and can no longer be started because of the following error: dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 33397 package `libc6': `triggers-pendi' is not allowed for third (status) word in `status' field Will attach what files I can still find. -- Update to gutsy failed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146943 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

[Bug 146943] Re: Update to gutsy failed
Hi Chris, thanks for your bug-report, but i think, it is not the same bug. The update of dpkg failed. I don't know the reason (IOError? maybe a harddisk problem?) - Preparing to replace dpkg 1.13.24ubuntu6 (using .../dpkg_1.14.5ubuntu16_i386.deb) ...

[Bug 146943] Re: Update to gutsy failed
Thanks fx5. After a bit more looking, I had come to the same conclusion and tried the dpkg install again (after editing /var/lib/dpkg/status), and the error repeated. It turned out to be a bad copy of dpkg_1.14.5ubuntu16_i386.deb in /var/cache/apt/archives. I downloaded a new copy and installed it, changed back /var/lib/dpkg/status, and things are moving along better now. I guess I had jumped to my conclusion too quickly after seeing the similarities to the earlier posts. -- Update to gutsy failed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146943 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
[Bug 146943] Re: Update to gutsy failed
I think I've been affected by this problem too. Now I'm half through upgrading Kubuntu to Gutsy and am stuck because none of the dpkg stuff works. Based on suggestions above, I tried 'apt-get install python-apt' but it said 'E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.' So I ran 'dpkg --configure -a' but I get this error: dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0003' near line 2 package `libc6': `triggers-pendi' is not allowed for third (status) word in `status' field I understand from the above comments that a new python-apt makes dpkg understand the triggers field. But how do I install this new python-apt since installing anything needs me to run 'dpkg --configure'. Seems to me that I'm stuck in a chicken-and-egg situation :( I tried restarting the update but it couldn't get a lock on the package db. Is it okay to delete the stuff in /var/lib/dpkg/updates/* and resume the upgrade?

1. When did you start update? The bug should be fixed. Please post your /etc/apt/sources.list Maybe you use a mirror that is not updated yet. What does apt-cache policy python-apt say? 2. Try this: cd /var/cache/apt/archives/ sudo dpkg -i python-central_0.5.15ubuntu2_all.deb sudo dpkg -i python-apt_0.7.3.1ubuntu4_*.deb# Or the version number you have sudo dpkg -i dpkg_1.14.5ubuntu16_*.deb sudo dpkg --configure -a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -- Update to gutsy failed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146943 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

This is fixed with the upload of the latest python-apt (from today). It will ensure that a version of dpkg is available that understands about triggers.

@fx5: triggers may well be the reason, they have just recently been added: http://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2007/08/msg9.html What makes me a bit suspicious is that we all seem to have a truncated third status word in /var/lib/dpkg/updates/00?? , namely: triggers-pendi instead of triggers-pending (look at the various term.log files) Anyway, I added two other duplicates. -- Update to gutsy failed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146943 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
[Bug 146943] Re: Update to gutsy failed
python-apt is packaged with python-central. python-central use dpkg-query to read the package-fields (like Python-Version). dpkg-query seems to fail, because it is the old (feisty-) version that does know about triggers. There is a trigger-status for libc6. But I don't understand, how this trigger-status is done when dpkg is not updated yet. I tried to find out, but I don't know how this works. -- Update to gutsy failed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146943 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

@FlagMan triggers-pendi instead of triggers-pending When returning an error, dpkg calculates the length of the error-message by the length of the last word it was looking for.

@ Timo: Why do you think this is related? FWIW: I can confirm this bug, too. Encountered it yesterday while doing an upgrade from 7.04 to gutsy-rc. I get the exact same error as the original poster, beginning with: dpkg-query: Fehler beim Parsen, in Datei »/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0013« nahe Zeile 2 Paket »libc6«: »triggers-pendi« ist nicht erlaubt für drittes (Status-)Wort im Feld »status« and unfortunately, by now /var/lib/dpkg/updates is empty, too. There were a lot of packages that didn't resolve afterwards, so I consider this bug somewhat critical to upgrading.
