Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Update Manager - Updates stalling / Hanging during installation

[GRMoreton]

Hi

Sorry if this issue is a common one and it has been posted before, I did a search of the forums however couldent find anything on this particular issue.

I have a Webserver built on a Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise) 32bit platform. Version - Kernel Linux 3.2.0-39-generic-pae / gnome 3.4.2

Output when trying to perform an update using apt-get update / apt-get upgrade

Output when using the Update Manager (I realise the files in both outputs are different. this is because the captures were taken at different times

I only seem to have this problem after installing ISPConfig3 (which is working great by the way)
Can anyone please help me identify the cause of this issue as I have tried to backtrack on what I may hae done to cause this however cannot find a reason.. Potentially it could be something relating to the pre-install requirements of installing ISPConfig 3

Is this a known issue seen by anyone else?
Any help would be appreciated.

I don't see any errors. The messages you're seeing probably come from apt-listchanges (http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/en/man1/apt-listchanges.1.html).

Hi schrage

Thanks for the reply

Are you saying that there is not a problem with the update Manager, as when i perform an update using the normal method the update manager program just hangs and freezes / crashes.. how can i resolve this .

As mentioned apt-get update runs fine but them apt-get upgrade simply hangs also just at the same point at the update Manager?

It doesn't hang. It waits for you reading the changelog and pressing q afterwards. If you don't want this behaviour, configure apt-listchanges accordingly.

Ahhhh I was missing the point you were making. apologies. I dont understand why it has just started doing this though, possibly something i did during my preconfig work before installing ISPconfig 3... Many thanks for your help. :)
