[Bug 882209] Re: package g++ 4:4.5.2-1ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: package g is already installed and configured

[Raphaël Hertzog]

You had multiple errors including one that is the direct consequence of
lack of memory. Since this one is not a bug but a limitation of your
setup, I ignore it.

However the error below is worth some investigation and I thus reaffect
this bug to adobe-flashplugin.


Removing adobe-flashplugin:i386 ...

Title:
  package g++ 4:4.5.2-1ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage:
  package g   is already installed and configured

Status in “adobe-flashplugin” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Occurred during upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10.  This system was
  originally installed with 8.04, and did a release upgrade from 8.04 to
  8.10 to 9.04 to 9.10 to 10.04 to 10.11 to 11.04 properly.  Originally
  installed with g++.  At some point (11.04?) the separate g++ was
  removed and moved into gcc I think, but now the dependency crashed
  after nearly 18 hours of upgrading, which is highly annoying.
