Public bug reported:
The migration from 12.04 LTS to 12.10 (64bits) failed on my box because of 2
packages dependency failures:
libpam-modules and hostname.
I recover it in a shell after reboot (no GUI was available btw) by
- using repeated calls to aptitude -f install ( the process stopped several
times because of "too many errors" messages)
- manually installing some packages
- manually removing some packages with failed dependencies
- manually installing the 2 above packages (aptitude install libpam-modules
hostname)
I'm upgrading from 12.10 to 13.04 right now, and the same failure seems
to happen again during the package installation process (after the
download step). So I think this could affect users migrating from 12.04
TLS to the next TLS release.
FWIW, the original distribution installed on this box was 11.04 (Natty),
and I used some custom sources.list at some point (medibuntu and another
one to install the Zend PHP framework)
I did not investigate a lot, but this could be related to mixed
dependencies between 32bit and 64bit versions of some packages.
