This feels like a reoccurring theme; not all files and directories are checked if they exist in update-managers dist-upgrade code.
DistUpgradeController.py ------ 947 def enableApport(self, fname="/etc/default/apport"): 948 " enable apoprt " 949 # for jaunty and later we could use this instead: 950 # env = copy.copy(os.environ) 951 # env["force_start"] = "1" 952 # subprocess.call(["/etc/init.d/apport","start"], env=env) 953 # but hardy and intrepid do not have the force_start yet 954 if not os.path.exists(fname): 955 return 956 # copy the jaunty version of the conf file in place 957 # (this avoids a conffile prompt later) 958 logging.debug("enabling apport") 959 shutil.copy("etc-default-apport","/etc/default/apport") 960 subprocess.call(["/etc/init.d/apport","start"]) etc-default-apport file does not exist. To temporarily fix your issue, execute this; echo "enabled=1" >> /etc/default/apport echo "maxsize=209715200" >> /etc/default/apport and re-execute 'update-manager --dist-upgrade'. -- update manager partial upgrade fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/335416 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
