Hello,<div><br></div><div>I was upgrading a laptop from Ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10 when my cat made himself a seat on the keyboard. (I was away from the machine.) This laptop's unfortunate instinct when tons of keys are pressed is to power off. By the time this occurred, all required packages had been downloaded and installation of packages was underway.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I don't have the laptop with me just now, but I'm uncertain of what to do when I look at it again tonight or tomorrow. I suppose I could just boot up and see what happens -- perhaps the upgrader is smart enough to know that smart went crazy last time around and will make helpful suggestions. Or perhaps there's a dpkg command I can run that will take all uninstalled packages on the machine and install them; that doesn't seem out of the question... but what about the package that was in process of being installed when the power off occurred? Lost cause?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks for your input!</div><div>-Frank</div>
