There are no files in /var/log/dist-upgrade, for some reason. I was able to manually fix the problem though, by editing /var/lib/dpkg/status. For example, package libcamel1.2-11 section looked like this:
Package: libcamel1.2-11 Status: install ok installed*Priority: optional Section: libs Installed-Size: 916 Maintainer: Ubuntu Deskt... with the status and priority all on one line. The * was actually some character with the wrong character encoding, I believe, so I deleted that. Then in another section, It was giving me another error, so I ended up removing a line that had only $. in it, as well as the following paragraph. This was part of the package description. After that, everything worked fine. -- Unresolvable problem in update manager https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/234449 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
