           Summary: Synaptic lock up when installing linux-image
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: linux-meta
        AssignedTo: debzilla at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: mmacleod at ieee.org
         QAContact: kernel-bugs at lists.ubuntu.com


During the last several updates of linux-image synaptic has locked up on the
"installing linux-image..." step. Killing synaptic and restarting it tells me to
run 'dpkg --configure -a' to finish configuring packages. I get the following
output:

Setting up x-window-system-core (6.8.2-75) ...
Setting up linux-image-2.6.12-9-686 (2.6.12-9.21) ...
evms_open_engine() failed with error code 13: Permission denied

Not touching initrd symlinks since we are being reinstalled (2.6.12-9.20)

Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub .
Testing for an existing GRUB menu.list file... found: /boot/grub/menu.lst .
Searching for splash image... none found, skipping...
Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-9-686
Found kernel: /boot/memtest86+.bin
Updating /boot/grub/menu.lst ... done



And then installation proceeds as expected. I'm assuming that evms stuff (which
I don't use) is the culprit.
