[Bug 220645] Re: package ubuntu-desktop 1.102 failed to install/upgrade: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
I've had trouble with the hardy upgrade, with packages such as rsync, cupsys, ubuntu-standard failing to configure due to dependency problems. I have debian packages installed that are not supported by ubuntu. I have since learned mixing ubuntu and debian packages could cause problems, but wasn't sure if all of the debian packages could be removed without making the system unstable. I got an email from getdeb.net, a site that is a source for some of the debian packages I've installed. The email suggested that before a hardy upgrade all 'getdeb' packages be removed, and for the system to be configured with a separate home partition. The email has links for instructions to remove packages in synaptic, and how to create a separate home partition in an already installed system. (with a reminder to backup) I also wondered if there are other debian files that need to be removed. I have sysv-rc-2.86.ds1-38 I read in wikki GTK+1, and GTK+2 are not compatible, and metacity uses GTK+2 but that may not be relevant I've included some of the details of the email including the link urls, and hope someone can explain in more detail, or if this applies to another bug. I was worried the email was spam (how to delete your home file with one key stroke) http://www.getdeb.net : Fresh installs are much easier to perform if the data (/home) and the OS are not on the same partition. If the installation was done into a single partition, it is recommended to split it (http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome). Backup is strongly recommended if you are going to perform partition changes. If you don't have a separate home and still want to perform a fresh install, you must backup your data to an external media or to an another disk. Then, reinstall the system creating the recommended partitions and restore the data from your backup. If you cannot perform a fresh install and will need to do a distribution upgrade it is recommended that you remove all getdeb packages prior to the upgrade. You can remove all the getdeb packages following the procedure at http://www.getdeb.net/docs/uninstall.pdf . I'll attach the getdeb file removal pdf ** Attachment added: untested advice from debian source to remove debian packages before upgrade http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14076651/uninstall.pdf -- package ubuntu-desktop 1.102 failed to install/upgrade: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220645 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

Thanks for this additional information. Mixing ubuntu and debian packages can have this kind of effect. Testing against all possible failure scenarios then becomes very difficult. ** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Won't Fix -- package ubuntu-desktop 1.102 failed to install/upgrade: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220645 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
