You did upgrade your linux kernel: 2011-08-19 10:13:37 upgrade linux-generic 2.6.38.10.25 2.6.38.11.26 [...] 2011-08-19 10:13:58 configure linux-image-2.6.38-11-generic 2.6.38-11.48 <none>
But the log clearly shows that you installed lots of other packages even with the older kernel. So I don't think it would bring anything to ask you to retry with the former kernel (2.6.38-10-generic). The error was transient and it will be next to impossible to track it... and it's really not in dpkg. I'm tentatively reassigning it to the kernel but I doubt this will go further unfortunately. ** Package changed: dpkg (Ubuntu) => linux-lts-backport-natty (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/827942 Title: package dselect (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: unable to create `/etc/dpkg/dselect.cfg.dpkg-new' (while processing `./etc/dpkg/dselect.cfg'): Invalid argument To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-lts-backport-natty/+bug/827942/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
