I later (through partial upgrades) managed to successfully complete the upgrade, and this time it didn't try to make qjackctl obsolete. I think I will try upgrading what used to be my primary Lubuntu (11.10) partition, and carefully document if it tries to make qjackctl obsolete. If it does, I will work for a resolution of that problem. - Aere On Sat, 2012-06-23 at 01:43 -0700, Jonathan Marsden wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> <PRE> On 06/18/2012 12:14 PM, Aere Greenway wrote: > But no, the upgrade process marked qjackctl obsolete, and there > appears to be no way to undo the damage, other than installing the > entire system. This does not sound to me like an issue with qjackctl, or with Lubuntu as a whole. It may be an issue with the package database on this particular machine, or the set of repositories it is configured to use. If it is convenient for you to "just" reinstall, then it's fine for you to go ahead and do that. If you prefer to work with the Lubuntu community towards a solution, then we can probably do that, too :) To get started, I'd suggest you post the output of apt-cache policy qjackctl and also the output of egrep -v "^#|^$" /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*list in case you have some unwanted additional repositories being used that are related to the issue you are seeing.
