Public bug reported: (This is a duplicate of bug #1385016, but `apport-collect 1385016` tells me not to report a dupe, so I used `ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release- upgrader` to file this even though it tells me not to file a new bug. ?!)
Similar to bug #1385016, but I followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UtopicUpgrades/Kubuntu to run the GUI release upgrade. Just like that bug, the alert dialog has "subprocess installed post- removal script returned error exit status 127" It's in the Cleaning up phase and /var/log/dkpg.log has 2014-10-25 17:56:48 status installed syslinux-themes-debian:all 12-3 2014-10-25 17:56:48 remove syslinux-themes-debian:all 12-3 <none> 2014-10-25 17:56:48 status half-configured syslinux-themes-debian:all 12-3 2014-10-25 17:56:48 status half-installed syslinux-themes-debian:all 12-3 2014-10-25 17:56:49 status installed syslinux-themes-debian-wheezy:all 12-3 2014-10-25 17:56:49 remove syslinux-themes-debian-wheezy:all 12-3 <none> 2014-10-25 17:56:49 status half-configured syslinux-themes-debian-wheezy:all 12-3 2014-10-25 17:56:49 status half-installed syslinux-themes-debian-wheezy:all 12-3 2014-10-25 17:56:51 status config-files syslinux-themes-debian-wheezy:all 12-3 2014-10-25 17:56:51 status config-files syslinux-themes-debian-wheezy:all 12-3 So I think the upgrader is trying to remove this package, not install it. I tried reporting this from the [Report bug] button in the Error dialog, but that failed with Chromium can not be run as root. Please start Chromium as a normal user. ...
