I'll attempt to re-install it. I am fairly certain that it hung, as I looked at it, saw that it stopped, said "ok wait," and walked away for several minutes before hitting <ctrl>c. I need to re-install or upgrade a bunch of gnome libs anyway to solve another problem I seem to be having. When I open OpenOffice and begin typing, it does not advance to the next line, but rather jumps back to the start of the line, and pushes the text along. I am thinking the installed version of OOfice must be linked to different versions of the gnome or gtk libs than are actually installed. I am not sure my apt-get install actually installed anything, though it did try to pull in a lot of gnome libs.
Thanks for getting back to me. --- On Thu, 7/9/09, Dougie Richardson <ddrichard...@btinternet.com> wrote: > From: Dougie Richardson <ddrichard...@btinternet.com> > Subject: [Bug 397670] Re: apt-get upgrade crashes repeatedly > To: joelk...@yahoo.com > Date: Thursday, July 9, 2009, 11:44 PM > Thanks for reporting this, from the > logs it appears that you hit Ctrl+C > while gnome-applets-data was being installed so I'm > reassigning it to > that package. > > You could attempt to install only the troublesome package: > > sudo apt-get install gnome-applets-data > > To check this package is actually stalling but I suspect it > simply > needed more time. > > ** Package changed: ubuntu-docs (Ubuntu) => > gnome-applets (Ubuntu) > > -- > apt-get upgrade crashes repeatedly > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/397670 > You received this bug notification because you are a direct > subscriber > of the bug. > > Status in “gnome-applets” package in Ubuntu: New > > Bug description: > Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs > > I installed ubuntu 9.04 netbook and decided to run apt-get > update and apt-get upgrade.
