I had lots of package updates reported as pending based on $ sudo dpkg --audit
but there is no need to purge all of them (at least it wasn't for me). The work-around was simply to reinstall gxine, as suggested e.g. in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/262451/comments/40. The error message was gone afterwards, and I have installed 91 updates since. -- dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:221: process_queue: Assertion `dependtry <= 4' failed. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/262451 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
