[Bug 1298281] Re: prompt to restart services in text mode during an upgrade in graphic mode

Tue Apr 1 07:30:29 UTC 2014

I saw this crash too, but it is unrelated. Instead it could be because newest version of libgtk2-perl and its dependencies are not all installed on the system.
>From apt-term.log, we can see that libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 is already unpacked but libgtk2-perl itself and its other dependencies are still at previous version. So when the gnome frontend is called by the trigger libgtk2-perl cannot be loaded.

Title:
  prompt to restart services in text mode during an upgrade in graphic
  mode

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

Bug description:
  Fresh install of Precise Desktop + updates upgraded to Trusty with
  "update-manager -d"

  During upgrade the console window opens with a prompt from debconf to
  restart services that depends on libc6 (see screenshot)

  1. It must be a graphical prompt
  2. There should be no prompt
