I can still confirm this issue on an upgrade (7.04 to gutsy-rc) started 16-Oct afternoon US Pacific time. I hit the original python-apt issue, but the install continued behind the error window. When it finally aborted, it ran 'dpkg --configure -a' which eventually failed and can no longer be started because of the following error:
dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 33397 package `libc6': `triggers-pendi' is not allowed for third (status) word in `status' field Will attach what files I can still find. -- Update to gutsy failed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146943 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
