System: upgrading from 6.06.1 LTS to Edgy Eft (6.10) This is the error log in /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log: ERROR: root: got an error from dpkg for pkg: 'firestarter': subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2.
To get more debugging message, I enabled the following flag and rerun dpkg: export DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer; dpkg --configure -a The error is related to firestarter failing to start its daemon. The error occurs when running the script /etc/init.d/firestarter start. To see more debugging message, remove the redirection of the following line in the init.d script /etc/init.d/firestarter start: (commented:) # $FS_CONTROL start > /dev/null (new line:) $FS_CONTROL start The offending line is in the script /etc/firestarter/firestarter.sh. It aborts when any network interface called in /etc/firestarter/configuration is not yet initilized. In my case, it is eth1 (wlan). I just assigned an IP address to the offending interface. The next offending line in /etc/firestarter/firestarter.sh is related to the DHCP not starting properly. Just disable DHCP for NATs when you enabled NAT in /etc/firestarter/configuration. In /etc/firestarter/configuration, set the following lines to off: # Enable DHCP server for NAT clients DHCP_SERVER="off" # Forward server's DNS settings to clients in DHCP lease DHCP_DYNAMIC_DNS="off" -- upgrading 5.10 > 6.06 LTS fails on firestarter https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/48010 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
