[Bug 1413270] Re: Utopic -> Vivid upgrade displays failure warning

Thu Jan 22 23:46:11 UTC 2015

Hi Brian,

I got busy and forgot to add a comment about follow up testing. About 20
hours after this initial test on i386 I performed a second test on the
same hardware but with an amd64 OS and I got no such failure warning. So
I just happened to think, is it possible that this could be arch
specific?

Title:
  Utopic -> Vivid upgrade displays failure warning

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

Bug description:
  Just testing Ubuntu GNOME Utopic -> Vivid release upgrades and towards
  the end of the upgrade a failure warning is displayed:

  Could not install the upgrades

  The upgrade has aborted. Your system could be in an unusable state. A
  recovery will run now (dpkg --configure -a).

  The terminal displays this:

  lance at lance-desktop:~$ update-manager -d -c

  Upon reboot I notice that I am running the Vivid kernel but apparently
  some packages had failed to configure:

  lance at lance-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get -f install

  Reading state information... Done
  The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:

  Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.

  Now it's time to reboot again. I'm sure you'll need more info but I
  can't think what else to add right now.
