Public bug reported: Binary package hint: update-manager
This bug is very similar to Bug #91295, but the error message on the last line differs. After installing most of the new packages for Feisty Fawn the upgrade tool crashed this way: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/tmp/kde-root/adept_managerLBkA3b.tmp-extract/dist-upgrade.py", line 48, in ? app.run() File "/tmp/kde-root/adept_managerLBkA3b.tmp-extract/DistUpgradeControler.py", line 844, in run self.fullUpgrade() File "/tmp/kde-root/adept_managerLBkA3b.tmp-extract/DistUpgradeControler.py", line 826, in fullUpgrade if not self.doDistUpgrade(): File "/tmp/kde-root/adept_managerLBkA3b.tmp-extract/DistUpgradeControler.py", line 534, in doDistUpgrade res = self.cache.commit(fprogress,iprogress) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/apt/cache.py", line 204, in commit if res == pm.ResultCompleted: File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/apt/cache.py", line 179, in installArchives installProgress.finishUpdate() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/apt/progress.py", line 217, in run os._exit(res) File "/tmp/kde-root/adept_managerLBkA3b.tmp-extract/DistUpgradeViewKDE.py", line 259, in waitChild self.updateInterface() File "/tmp/kde-root/adept_managerLBkA3b.tmp-extract/DistUpgradeViewKDE.py", line 281, in updateInterface logging.warning("no activity on terminal for %s seconds (%s)" % (self.TIMEOUT_TERMINAL_ACTIVITY, self.label_status.text())) UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 10-11: ordinal not in range(128) Now I'm not able to boot with the new kernel version 2.6.20.12, but with the original 2.6.17.11 neither. I found that in the /boot directory there are initrd.img-2.6.17-11-generic and initrd.img-2.6.17-11-generic.dpkg-bak files both with 0 B length and no initrd.img-2.6.20-12-generic file. I'm currently running with the older version 2.6.17.10 and I hope the official upgrade will install the new kernel version properly... ** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Upgrade to Feisty Fawn crashed on UnicodeEncodeError https://launchpad.net/bugs/95465 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
