Public bug reported: unresolvable dependcies when upgrading ubuntu gnome trusty -> utopic.
I started an upgrade. After all downloads were done and most of the installation had finished, the upgraded stopped with error message : "System may be in unstable state, dpkg --config will run" (or something similar) running apt-get by hand gives the following message $ sudo apt-get upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done You might want to run ‘apt-get -f install’ to correct these. The following packages have unmet dependencies. ubuntu-gnome-desktop : Depends: gnome-contacts but it is not installed Depends: gnome-control-center but it is not installed Recommends: cheese but it is not installed Recommends: empathy but it is not installed Recommends: gnome-maps but it is not installed Recommends: mcp-account-manager-goa but it is not installed Recommends: totem but it is not installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f. Running apt-get -f install attempts to remove ubuntu-gnome-desktop and the gnome-shell packages (I haven't done this) Attempting to install gnome-contacts depends on libcheese-gkt23 libcheese depends on libcogl20 > 1.17 and libcogl breaks libclutter-1.0.0 << 1.17 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.10 Package: ubuntu-release-upgrader-core 1:14.10.9 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-30.55-generic 3.13.11.2 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-30-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: wl nvidia ApportVersion: 2.14.7-0ubuntu8 Architecture: amd64 CrashDB: ubuntu CurrentDesktop: GNOME Date: Sun Oct 26 13:10:27 2014 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-07-16 (101 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-GNOME 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140416.2) PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: ubuntu-release-upgrader Symptom: release-upgrade UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to utopic on 2014-10-26 (0 days ago) VarLogDistupgradeTermlog: ** Affects: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug dist-upgrade utopic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1385881 Title: release update to ubuntu-gnome 14.10 fails.
