[Bug 299699] Re: package update-manager 1:0.95.1 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: SystemError in cache.commit(): E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg exited unexpectedly

OK, so this is my problem: the upgrade process hangs eternally at
chillispot postinstall. I have to kill -9 the pid of update-manager.
After that I cannot sudo apt-get remove chillispot:

root# apt-get remove chillispot

/var/lib/dpkg/lock unable to open lock (or something)

you must run dpkg --configure -a manually

When I do that:

/var/lib/dpkg/lock ... (as above)

the trick is: root# kill -9 'pidof jaunty'

When I run update-manager -c -d in Intrepid it says: downloading
upgrading tool (2 files)

I take it this is 'jaunty'?

Please refer me to the debug symbols, thank you!
