[Bug 1049948] Re: Upgrade from Lucid to Precise fails

[Jan Ceulen]

** Description changed:

  After a long upgrade with no errors (guess 15 minutes) it stopped:
  
+ ...
+ update-perl-sax-parsers: Registering Perl SAX parser XML::SAX::Expat with priority 50...
+ update-perl-sax-parsers: Updating overall Perl SAX parser modules info file...
+ Processing triggers for libc-bin ...
+ ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
+ Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ...
+ update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-42-server
+ Processing triggers for resolvconf ...
+ Fouten gevonden tijdens behandelen van:
+  linux-image-3.2.0-30-generic
+  memtest86+
+  ubuntu-standard
+  linux-image-server
+  linux-server
+ Error in function:
+ (...)
  SystemError: E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
  Could not install upgrades
  Error...
  'E:Couldn't configure pre-depend multiarch-support for libapt-pkg4.12, probably a dependency cycle.'
  
  I was invited to report this as a bug.
  
  When (re)booting choosing Linux 3.2.0-30-generic fails (The CPU has been disabled by the guest...)
  Booting into Linux 2.6.32-42-server runs ok - system is 12.04.1 LTS.
  As far as I tested till now main functions do run (Apache 2.2.22, PHP 5.3.10  MySQL 5.5.24) and have been upgraded.
  
  I attach logs.tar (apt.log and mail.log from /var/log/dist-upgrade).
+ 
  What went wrong?
  I do have a backup of the machine before the upgrade.
+ 
+ #edit
+ apt-get -f install seems to slove the boot prob;em (works with 3.2.0 now).
+ I'm still wondering if I am missing upgrades since the release-upgrade did not end succesfully...
