This has been fixed in 9.5 for Hardy. ** Changed in: db2exc (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released -- db2 update to version 9.5 crashes existing installation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/189538 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 189538] Re: db2 update to version 9.5 crashes existing installation
Okay I finally fixed it. How I did it was this: edited /var/dpkg/info/db2exc.prerm commented out the line: dasUser=$instDir/instance/daslist then ran dpkg -r db2exc I ran the daslist command myself a few times but there was no output. No idea why it was failing, but it was. The scripts for removing db2 need to be a lot less fragile I think. -- db2 update to version 9.5 crashes existing installation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/189538 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 189538] Re: db2 update to version 9.5 crashes existing installation
This problem has plagued me before and now - upgrading to Ubuntu 8.04 has done it again! db2exc - can't remove it or install it. I'm using 9.2 version because db2exc 9.5 is VERY, VERY different than 9.2 and is innapropriate for my work. Anyway it's killed my upgrade and now my laptop is ruined (again) - i'm having to manually hack stuff to remove db2exc. What a painful experience! -- db2 update to version 9.5 crashes existing installation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/189538 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Re: [Bug 189538] Re: db2 update to version 9.5 crashes existing installation
Antony, nothings really lost yet. In your case I would suggest to get the free db2-express-c package directly from IBM and install it using the commandline tool "db2_install" instead of the graphical "db2setup". This will only copy the files to /opt/ibm/db2/V9.5 without changing any instance-settings. You should then be able to go on with my method. regards, Norbert Antony Jones schrieb: > Upon installing 9.5 and getting a 'database directory not found' message > I immediately tried to remove the package, intending to revert back to > the older one. > > Of course I can't, because of the errors listed above.

Upon installing 9.5 and getting a 'database directory not found' message I immediately tried to remove the package, intending to revert back to the older one. Of course I can't, because of the errors listed above. I'd love to use your method Norbert, but it isn't possible with my system in its current state. -- db2 update to version 9.5 crashes existing installation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/189538 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
Re: [Bug 189538] Re: db2 update to version 9.5 crashes existing installation
Have you tried my suggested method? If you at least remember the names of your databases you should be able to get access to your databases with the installed 9.5 version. db2's automatic crash recovery should hopefully do the rest. Not very funny indeed.

I would like to agree that this is a very serious problem.
