Hello,
when I did the kernel upgrade from 2.6.28-14-generic to
2.6.28-15-generic, the installation never completed, and I lost the
ability to use aptitude and apt-get. I don't know against which package
I should report a bug.
Symptom of package installation failure is the new kernel not appearing
in grub menu. Also, I noticed the corresponding linux-restricted package
was not pulled from the repos, so I assume it wasn't available at the
time. I need this package since I use the nvidia blob. I downloaded the
missing -restricted package and installed with dpkg.
Now any front-end to apt (I tried so far: aptitude, apt-get, add/remove/
update manager, gdebi and synaptic) segfault immediately after called,
possibly when reading the package database. Following instructions in
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace I got the attached backtrace from
aptitude.
I did the kernel upgrade using update-manager, but since the
installation/configuratio of the linux-headers package was taking
forever (seemed stalled TBH), I left home while it was doing, and
rebooted remotely a couple of hours later from work.
Now I can't even use ubuntu-bug. To which pacakge should I report the
bug against? Apt? Update-manager? Linux?
best regards
FF
