[ubuntu-studio-users] Offer to upgrade failed

Sat Jan 19 11:26:31 UTC 2019

Hi

As for “sudo apt —fix-broken install” clearing up my problems, I wouldn’t break out the champagne just yet.

I have another pastebin at https://pastebin.com/qYTLsTCZ

which tells more of the story. Overall, the error messages are circular: apt complains about conflicts with packages that don’t exist on my system; apt wants me to install packages that it will later on say are “no longer needed”, and when I uninstall them, it will request them again. Unless these problems are resolved, apt will refuse to upgrade my OS to 18.10. Nearly all of these package problems involve Python packages, I noticed.

The pastebin was supposed to have bash highlighting. However, it seemed to color nearly everything. Clicking on the “raw” button to see the un-highlighted version might be better.

Also, 

sudo apt dist-upgrade 

(sudo dist-upgrade may have been a typo on my part)

Regularly I use

apt update

apt upgrade

apt dist-upgrade

apt full-upgrade

apt autoremove

apt autoclean

do-release-upgrade 

   -p for proposed

   -d for development

Happy to hear sudo apt —fix-broken install cleared you up.

                This command didn’t work.

sudo apt install —fix-broken

                This command did, and suggested to remove packages that I later tried to remove using apt. This succeeded, and:

apt install -f

                didn’t do much.

The weird package problems I have been having have not been fixed, and the the suggested packages with apt install –fix-broken were not the same ones that were “blocked from update.”

Paul, 

     OK it looks like because of some dependencies that haven’t been met there are some programs that need to be there in order to continue.

Try these;

sudo apt —fix-broken install

sudo apt install —fix-broken

apt install -f

I have tried this, and I keep getting reminded about the blocked updates, and the refusal to upgrade to the latest version.

Heya Paul,

     It sounds like there were some upgrades that hadn’t been processed yet.

sudo apt update  

sudo apt upgrade -y 

sudo dist-upgrade -y

At the run those command you should be able to do the

sudo do-release-upgrade

Best of luck to you!

Do-release-upgrade still wanted me to update my packages first. With the package updater, I got the names of three packages that were “blocked from update”. 

On the

command line, this is what I got when I tried to remove the “blocked” packages:

Hi Paul,

There are some instructions for upgrading from 16.04 & 17.10 to 18.04 here (which seems to be what you have done):

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseNotes#Upgrading_from_Ubuntu_16.04_LTS_or_17.10

As you have hit errors, it might be better to follow the Ubuntu Server update instructions and do a "sudo do-release-upgrade" on the command line. Then it might be easier to copy and paste any error messages on an email to the list.

There are places you can retrieve the apt logs, but you probably won't need to if the error is obvious to us here.

Regards,

Ross

Hi,

I am using Ubuntu Studio 16.04.xx, and I noticed that I was offered, through the “software updater”, an opportunity to upgrade to the next LTS version. I cliked the button that said “Update …”, and all the window does is disappear, with no further response. I have tried this several times.

I have had what I call minor problems with the software updater in the past, where it would say that update has failed for some unknown reason, I dutifully click “send report”, but in fact, the system was updated, but for a few Python packages which look old, and “blocked” from update.

It appears as if the “minor” problems may be causing update to fail. I cannot find any system log that tells me what crashed, although I managed to read one of my reports that Software Updater would send, and I remember seeing a message that apt had crashed (I recall it was apt and not aptd). I did not see information there that gave a reason.
