Public bug reported: Dear team,
I need some help, as I'm lost finding relevant reports & help suggestions in launchpad. My Monday's (Nov 12, 2012) upgrade attempt finished, although with errors. I can use my system, but I cannot update/install/remove any packages. apport seems to crash every time I try to report errors. grub-pc: /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log:2012-11-12 13:08:10,311 DEBUG running apport_pkgfailure() grub-pc: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log:2012-11-12 13:08:10,619 ERROR got an error from dpkg for pkg: 'grub-pc': 'subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1' apport: unpack requires a byte object of length 4, no error report sent. Software updater: Software index is broken: It is impossible to install or remove any software. linux versions: e.g. dpkg: error processing linux-image-3.2.0-31-generic (--remove): subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: linux-image-3.2.0-29-generic linux-image-3.2.0-30-generic linux-image-3.2.0-31-generic The last one stops me from doing anything to correct the errors by installing other/newer/better versions. What do you need to identify the errors? lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 12.10 Release: 12.10 ** Affects: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1078653 Title: upgrade Ubuntu 12.04 -> 12.10 has several problems: grub-pc, apport, older linux versions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1078653/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
