Public bug reported: I had pretty much a virgin machine that I had built as follows:
*) Build a machine from the Ubuntu Dapper CD (*not* Kubuntu). *) Log in and install all updates *) Install easy-ubuntu *) Install the latest version of KDE as described here: http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-354.php *) OK, now try to upgrade it using Adept. I edited all the "dapper"s in the repository list to "edgy"s and did a full upgrade, and Apply. *) Ran for quite a long time. After about 60% of the way through, it stopped, claiming that that continuing would break a package or cause some other problem (I don't remember the precise message, unfortunately). I see from the dpkg.log file it was finished with the localization files for openoffice. I don't know if there are any other log files that could tell me more exactly what the problem was. *) The machine was fairly fubar. Adept refused to open again, claiming that there was some configuration problem. It requested using apt-setup and apt-get --update to see if that fixed things, but the former doesn't exist and the latter didn't help. *) The machine refuses to reboot properly. If I don't use safe mode it just hangs, and if I do use safe mode it refuses to talk to the network. The machine is an old Sony Vaio PCG-XG19, if that helps. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Upgrading from dapper to edgy fails if KDE 3.5.4 is present https://launchpad.net/bugs/63694 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
