[Bug 1323384] Re: Updating ubuntu 10.04 LTS to 12.04.4 LTS Failed

[wgkoch]

I saw that but I could not understand what I 
could do about it, if anything at this point. The 
system is running, but it isn't right yet and I 
haven't been able to figure out how to get dchcp3 
server to install and configure at all. Tells me 
that some of the dhcp server config is, but it won't remove it either.

I got similar errors to these, too, when I let 
webmin initiate and run apt updates for some cups stuff recently, too.

The system seems in some kind of working limbo. 
apache3 is cool, popfile is cool, samba works, 
dhcp server is gone and cannot be brought back by 
removing/installing. Also noticed that the grub 
update in that apt-term.log was strange and am 
thinking that the grub configuration is flawed. 
Maybe running whatever was there before the 
upgrade to 12.04 LTS. Might explain the dhcp 
server issue? But, I don't know how or what to do about that either.

Do you have any recommendations on how to repair 
this partially successful upgrade or would you 
suggest I bail on this server entirely and try 
building a new one all over again?

Thanks for your help.

Bug description:
  First experience with this SERVER update using the update-manager via
  Putty connection to a very old laptop IBM running a few services
  nicely 2-3 years.  After 7 HOURS, the update falied.  Some services
  seem to have survived (apache, DNS are running) but others aren't
  (e.g. dhcp and I cannot manage it with Webmin).  Popfile survived AND
  was updated cleanly (I think) and is running.  Webmin is sketchy and
  apt seems not to be looking in the right places yet.  Enough is
  working that I can get by, which is a surprise, but I am not that
  proficient that I trust myself to fix the stuff and worry that I may
  lose my services and have to build a new server after all this.

  Anyway...after spending 7 hours watching the show, I find it unlikely
  I will ever try another update with that tool.  So I will try to give
  you what I have and maybe you can learn something from it and convince
  me to try again at another time when I can afford that much.  I could
  have just built a new server in this much time.

  Good luck.  I appreciate your work, but this part of it needs help.
