[Bug 1615916] Re: Ubuntu upgrade failed 14.04 -> 16.04 (pptpd)

[codywohlers]

This is fixed in pptpd 1.4.0-9
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=829418

I just downloaded 1.4.0-10 from the yakkety repo at
http://packages.ubuntu.com/yakkety/amd64/pptpd/download and installed it
using dpkg.  Once the xenial repo is updated this issue will be
resolved.

  Ubuntu upgrade failed 14.04 -> 16.04 (pptpd)

Status in pptpd package in Ubuntu:

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I don't think this matches the ones that search turned up.

  I was upgrading a Linode VM from 14.04 to 16.04 (do-release-upgrade),
  and after seeming to upgrade everything(?), it spat this out at the
  end:

  ==================================================================================
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   pptpd
  Error in function:

  
  A fatal error occurred

  Please report this as a bug and include the files
  /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log and /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log in
  your report. The upgrade has aborted.
  Your original sources.list was saved in
  /etc/apt/sources.list.distUpgrade.

  SystemError: E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


  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).

  Please report this bug in a browser at
  http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+filebug
  and attach the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ to the bug report.

  The upgrade has completed but there were errors during the upgrade
  process.

  Scrolling back up in teh screen session, I see that same set of lines:

  ==================================================================================

  That seems to be the only thing that spat out any sort of error.

  I will attempt to see what happens after reboot.  (Worst case, I will
  restore from the snapshot I took just before the upgrade attempt)
