Package System Broken ?

**Jonathan Precise** · August 12th, 2014

Try running (again):

Code:

sudo apt-get -f install

@ Jonathan Hi !;

Good to see you once more, always my pleasure. Let's try and satisfy the dependency issue and then run the "sudo apt-get -f install" command. See then what the package manager has to relate.

To that end:
@ Raggylad; Looking good !

I don't think that it flew ?

It did, it did fly, you do not see the Package manager hollering about that 3.5 kernel.
Let's see what we can do now about the 3.2 kernels.
Yeah - I know - I am slow, but getting there;
Let's do:

Code:

uname -r ## making sure you are still booting up with the 3.5 kernel
## IF so, then do the following ##
sudo apt-get purge linux-headers-3.2.0.65-generic
sudo apt-get purge linux-headers-3.2.0.65-generic-pae
sudo apt-get purge linux-image-3.2.0.65-generic-pae
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

where the hope is that the relative " 3.2.0.65-generic " will include the specific " Depends: linux-image-generic-pae (= 3.2.0.65.77) "

And now let's check with the package manager, and see what the status is:

Code:

sudo apt-get -f install

When that last runs, and we look at it, will do an additional check, remove some more old kernels, and then I would want to do some final clean up.
I want the system stable, at this point, prior to conducting any more operations.

an orderly progression

point A to point E

Hi Bashing-om,

Here's what I got:

Raggylad; Well !

Sort of disappointed. but not real surprised:
Let's try the reverse and see:

Code:

apt-get update && sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.2.0-65-generic-pae linux-headers-3.2.0-65-generic linux-headers-3.5.0-40

Once the package manger is in a happy state, we can then remove those un-needed kernels.

If at first you do not succeed

try try again ( sky diving excepted )

Raggylad; Sheeshj!

I was not paying good enough attention to what we are doing !

Try again:

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.2.0-65-generic-pae linux-headers-3.2.0-65-generic linux-headers-3.2.0-65

See if that output is not more meaningful, and see If I can now make heads or tails out of this !
Now, I must consider this a possibly the End_Of_Life support for the hardware stacks // to be seen yet.

try try again

Raggylad; Shucks,

I will be away from the keyboard for a bit // give me some time to consider this sloppyation.

Right now looks like

can't go forward,

can't go back

we going sideways, some how

**Raggylad** · August 12th, 2014

Bashing-om,

Whenever you're able. I'm on for about another 4 hours. Time zones ! Thanks again.

Nick

**Bashing-om** · August 12th, 2014

Raggylad; OK.

Looking at the way to go sideways. what have we got installed now ?
Show us:

Code:

dpkg -l | grep linux-

shows all the kernels installed.

And as we need to get away from the 3.5 kernel that is EOL anyway, and get up on the current 3.13 kernel; let's look at where we stand on HWE:

Code:

hwe-support-status --verbose

Maybe the best way is to jump way forward to the 'trusty' HardWare Enablement stack, sooner than later.

where there is a will there is a way
