Partial Upgrade warning persistent after upgrade to 9.04

[rockfx01]

After performing the upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04, whenever I open update manager I receive a warning stating "Not all updates can be installed."

If I click [Close], I see "liblucene2-java" greyed out in the Distribution updates list.

If I click [Partial Update], it tries to do an upgrade. In the upgrade list it wants to change the following packages:

Remove libdb4.5-java
Install libdb4.6-java
Install libdb4.6-java-gcj
Upgrade liblucene2-java

I click [Start Upgrade] and the upgrade seems to fail - the upgrade window closes at some point and no final confirmation is ever displayed saying the installation completed successfully.

The "Not all updates" warning keeps popping up because the upgrade does not succeed.

Can't help I'm afraid but I'm having the exact same problem with the same packages actually so any help gratefully received.

Actually going into terminal and typing

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Seems to fix this.

Yep, that worked, thanks!

Must be something wrong with the graphical partial updater.

[freakyhash]

thanks worked for me too....

Toontastic, you da man! Worked for me, too.

I experienced this issue too.

It appears that the upgrade manager was confused because I had already upgraded to Java 6 on my old (Intrepid) distro. Java 6 isn't part of the standard build, so it's not too surprising that Ubuntu reported an error.

The 'sudo apt-get...' worked for me too - thanks for the fix.

I've had a similar experience however I get the following error:

Do you want to continue [Y/n]? y
Extracting templates from packages: 100%
Preconfiguring packages ...
dpkg-query: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 39536 package `libisccfg30':

exim4-config.postinst: [WARN] Installed debconf version is broken. Aborting preconfigure.

dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 39536 package `libisccfg30':

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)

Any ideas from anyone would be appreciated. Cheers.

This worked for me too! Ran the upgrade to 9.04 last night and this morning I was getting the exact same error with the partial upgrade warning.

BTW, other than this minor issue, everything is working great, have not found any issues with installed applications.

Thanks for the solution toontastic! Much appreciated! :)

[MikeB007]

From my last post it seemed the file was corrupted. So:




ran 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' which cleared the 'available' file;
ran 'sudo aptitude dist-upgrade'


The upgrade proceeded as expected ... well longer than I expected but I have several third party apps so .... HTH

Thank you!
This helped a lot!

Hi there,

I had the same problem but unfortunately none of the solutions here worked for me.
So I did some digging and when I tried to Fix broken Packages in Synaptic I got this error:

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libsox-fmt-base_14.2.0-1_i386.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/sox/libsox_fmt_sndfile.so', which is also in package
libsox-fmt-sndfileI then manually removed libsox_fmt_sndfile.so using

sudo dpkg -r libsox_fmt_sndfile.soThat solved it for me.

Hope it helps someone else too.
