As many others, I also upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10. Went good, downloaded all updates and made nearly all installations, then with just a few minutes left of the installation step I got an error message saying that something went wrong.
I rebooted the system and to my surprise, Ubuntu 11.10 was there. Now I run the new version and it seems to be working good.
I read in /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log (see below) that something went wrong with the flashplugin-installer.
I ran the commands:
apt-clean
apt-update
apt-upgrade
and then it installed some packages, for example the flashplugin-installer.
Now to my question:
Is there any way to find out if the upgrade succeeded or not? (Or if something is missing, what's really missing?)
