    Old compiz-switch may break Ubuntu 11.04 upgrade

    In case anyone else run into the same problem as I did...:

    I had an old compiz-switch package installed on my system. It has a "Priority: low" denotation in the package, which happens to break the installer somewhere mid-way.

    A few manual edits of the package files fixed this and allowed me to run a "apt-get dist-upgrade -f", so I got my system running again.

    But in case anyone sees this before attempting an upgrade: I guess remove the compiz-switch package (completely) before doing the upgrade may be advisable.

    Hi,

    I had the same problem here, cost me a few hours. The dpkg parser seems to have become overzealous, I filed a bug report with them.

    Yea, i definitely didn't know about this before i tried to upgrade to the newest release (how would I) and I'm definitely pretty jammed up over it. What would be the way to remove compiz-switch from the command line?
