** Tags added: verification-done ** Tags removed: verification-needed ** Description changed: Binary package hint: metacity Performed online update from feisty to gutsy, twelve hours of packages being downloaded, then all hell broke loose with error box after error box as the upgrade did its thing. update-manager quit when it could go no further, then I manually recovered via apt-get -f install apt-get update apt-get -u dist-upgrade rebooted, X runs but only into a fail-safe session TEST CASE: Because the problem is only triggered if the daily apt cron job is run while the upgrade is happening, the test has to be indirect. 1. install gutsy 2. run update-manager -d - 3. follow the instruction for the upgrade to the point where it asks if the upgrade should be performed, STOP there - 4. run: sudo sh -x /etc/cron.daily/apt 2>&1 |grep check_size_constraints + 3. follow the instruction for the upgrade to the point where it asks if the upgrade should be performed, PAUSE there with the "Do you want to start the upgrade?" dialog open + 4. run: sudo sh -x /etc/cron.daily/apt 2>&1 | grep check_size_constraints 5. verify that there is output - now install the updated apt, repeat the steps ans verify that in step 6 - there is no output + now install the updated apt, repeat the steps and verify that in step 5 + that there is no output -- Cron job removes packages althought a package manager could be running https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/131719 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
