[Bug 1173468] Re: distribution upgrade - failed package upgrade for linux-image

[Sasa Paporovic]

Hi Geoff,

it is clear what you mean.

It is not really necessary in your case, but if you whant to help you
may be follow this text:


Hi Geoff,

sorry for the inconvenience. Those problems are very neasty.

Unfortunately, a little more help from you ins needed.

Please use

apport-collect 1173468

from command line to bring up all needed informations/logs here. Without
them the developers of ubunut-release-upgrader are not able to work on
this report.

If apport collect is disclaiming about missing libraries, please install
them and rerun the command until all works.

In meantime I set the status of the report to incomplete. When you have
brought up the needed information, please set the status of the report
back to new. This will bring progress in the fixing process.

greetings

melchiaros

P.S:

 If and only if it not possible to get it managed with apport-collect
you can also bring up the logs manually from

/var/log/dist-upgrade

folder.

Please attach them one by one here(this is important). For the apt-clone
file in the log folder you need root proviledges to upload it. This is
one of the causes why it is better to use apport-collect.

BTW: It is recommend for futhur reports to use the command

ubuntu-bug <PACKAGENAME>

for reporting. This will bring up all needed information up in the first
reporting step. -> Less work for all.

Title:
  distribution upgrade - failed package upgrade for linux-image

Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I'm upgrading from to the latest Kubuntu release and the installer
  prompted me to raise a bug report when it got to configuring the
  linux-image package.

  I know what's happend - I've only got a ~100Mb boot partition and I've
  got a couple of kernel images installed already so there just isn't
  space to install the new image.

  Further information requested:

  1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu
  Ubuntu 13.04 (upgrading from latest 12.10)

  2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center
  linux-image-3.8.0-19-generic 

  3) What you expected to happen
  Expected installer to check the required disk space before beginnning the upgrade process and refuse to install or for the package installation to fail with a less serious message.  Would be even nicer if the upgrader offered to resize the boot partition to be a bit larger or if the kernel-image package didn't keep so many old versions of itself installed

  4) What happened instead
  At the moment I get a message saying something like "package failed to install, please consider raising a bug report" -- I can't see the exact message as I'm half way through the upgrade and the KDE window manager seems to have disapeared...
