Public bug reported: Binary package hint: python2.5-dbg
Version: 2.5-2ubuntu2 Severity: normal Hi, this was a problem with TeTex for a while too, but they worked around it. The /usr/local partition is an NFS mount and is not writeable by all hosts, including the one showing this issue. I can probably just create the directory it wants and have the update succeed but I thought the policy was to leave /usr/local alone. Here's what happens.... # apt-get upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages have been kept back: linux-headers-server linux-image-generic linux-restricted-modules-generic 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded. 1 not fully installed or removed. Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 0B of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue [Y/n]?
