View Full Version : [SOLVED] Cannot update 12.04

Hi,
I've been running a 12.04 VPS server for a few years now with no major issue until today, for some reason I cannot update packages via webmin or update the server via apt-get.
I'm getting the following error message:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
linux-generic : Depends: linux-headers-generic (= 3.2.0.88.102) but 3.2.0.89.103 is to be installed
linux-image-generic : Depends: linux-image-3.2.0-88-generic but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
What I've tried so far.
sudo apt-get -f install and I've also rm some old kernals as purge is not working either (updated grub)
Hopefully this is something simple?

vs-ruthless; Hello;
I will start this ball rolling.
As you did:
and I've also rm some old kernals as purge is not working either
Will not be so simple. Going behind the package manager's back is UNgood.
Let's take a look at what we are working with to get an idea of what we are going to do .
Do we have operating head room ?
What returns:
df -h
df -i
Now what is installed for the kernels and support ?
dpkg -l | grep linux-
ls -al /usr/src/
ls -al /lib/modules/
ls -al /boot/
What kernel are you booting presently ?
uname -r
ls -al /vmlin*
ls -al /initrd*
clearing the deck
for action

vs-ruthless; Hey !
We do have the root cause identified:
/dev/vda1 461M 433M 4.8M 99% /boot
as the /boot partition full and no operating head room .
The solution to. as you know, remove the old kernels .
I do require a bit more info to make sure we have all our ducks in a row. I made an error "ls -al /etc/modules/
ls: cannot access /etc/modules/: Not a directory" ; A true statement - I had my mind set to a incorrect directory. Correct the path to the requested info to be:
ls -al /lib/modules/
We can do this
no step for a stepper

vs-ruthless; OK;
Let's "TRY" and do this as cleanly as possible - we do have a mess on our hands.
Let's poke at it and see if it bites:
sudo dpkg --purge linux-image-3.2.0-32-generic
Depending on what the package manager does with this 'test' is how we proceed. I do want to do this in a clean fashion, keeping the package manager happy. IF we have to, we can get dirty and clean up the mess afterward.

Look'n promising:
Try :

sudo dpkg -P linux-headers-3.2.0-{34,36,38,39,40,44,48}-generic
sudo dpkg -P linux-headers-3.2.0-{34,36,38,39,40,44,48}
Note we still have -31 and -35 hanging. not sure yet how we are going to deal with them - yet/ Will know more later.
If these run clean and are 'Purged', we purge the remainder of the old kernels then do some clean up.
Maybe we get out light, and this is all we need to do.
it could happen

Need to know what we look like for overall after removing the kernel images that we have:
dpkg -l | grep linux-
ls -al /usr/src/
ls -al /lib/modules/
I do expect to do this dirty and clean up the mess.

I'm a little confused as this is still showing old kernal?

vs-ruthless; Yikes !
I am a bit more than confused . Should have removed them judging from the initial results that you provided ! You are working from within the VM,yes ?
all I can think of for a reason is that the commands are directed toward the host ?
vs-ruthless
August 19th, 2015, 12:11 AM
I believe so, it's a VPS.

vs-ruthless; Sheesssh ....
I honestly do not know . We do have :
Purging configuration files for linux-image-3.2.0-32-generic ...
Examining /etc/kernel/postrm.d .
run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postrm.d/initramfs-tools 3.2.0-32-generic /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-32-generic
run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postrm.d/zz-update-grub 3.2.0-32-generic /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-32-geneeric
Clearly showing the image was removed. I have to assume the other 'P' - upper case "P" for purge went as well .
I can not explain why they are not removed .
Any hints in the outputs ?
Will consider and see what I might come up with .
sometimes I do wonder
vs-ruthless
August 19th, 2015, 12:38 AM
Just ran it again and it states that all those we purged are nor available (example below)
Package `linux-image-3.2.0-65-generic' is not available.
Package `linux-headers-3.2.0-65-generic' is not available.
Package `linux-headers-3.2.0-65' is not available.
Is there a file that needs to be cleaned?

August 19th, 2015, 12:48 AM
vs-ruthless; Hummm ...
Makes no sense to me why then those old kernels are still reflected in the outputs of :
dpkg -l | grep linux-
ls -al /usr/src/
ls -al /lib/modules/
Is it possible to reboot the server and get a fresh look ?
just do not know
vs-ruthless
August 19th, 2015, 12:49 AM
Did'nt realise the time will have to continue later up at 6am.
Once again thank you for all your help!!
Hopefully we will resolve this soon.

I thought the same, that was the output after the reboot.

vs-ruthless; K;
We continue this tomorrow. In the meantime I will boot up an old 12.04 install; update it and remove the old kernels. Just so I am sure and certain as to what we "should" see as confirmations of removed kernels and what the system reports !
confirmation is a good thing

vs-ruthless; Good morning !
I am back with my results after updating and purging old kernels in my 12.04;

Evening Bashing-om,
I've gone through this topic again just encase I missed something, but to no avail.
dpkg -l | grep linux- is still showing everthing is still there, but when I run --purge again I get a message saying that "Package `linux-headers-x.x.x-x' is not available." for eveyone that we purged.
Scratch head :?:

vs-ruthless' Well ...
We can get real ruthless .. get very dirty --- and clean up the mess afterward .
But, it can get real messy and make a mess of the server - that possibility does exist !
Let's see what we can do dirtily:
show me the updated:
ls -al /usr/src/
ls -al /lib/modules/
ls -al /boot/
dpkg -l | grep linux
And we manually take matters into our own hands, and 'apt-get -f install' to 'fix' the system.
scary thought
but we can do that

vs-ruthless; Hey Hey .....
Look'n great !
As to " linux-generic " That is the meta package to control installing kernels. And YES we do need to re-install it ( status iU ) .
Removing linux-generic will do no harm at all. It is only a "meta-package" depending on linux-image-generic and linux-headers-generic. Those two are themselves meta-packages depending on the respective latest image/headers packages.
You can see this for yourself by issuing apt-cache show linux-generic, apt-cache show linux-image-generic and apt-cache show linux-headers-generic.
The purpose of meta-packages is to pull-in the packages on which they depend, they have no functionality at all. On the other hand removing one will not remove it's dependencies - so no danger to the system.
After having fixed the original issue you can of course install linux-generic again. - which is what we are now going to do !
sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-generic
sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-generic
Now I personally prefer a 'clean' system . There is still the -31 and -35 remnants on the system.
Again, we can manually remove them .. but maybe the package manager will cope ?
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get of install
sudo dpkg -C
Slowly but surely (now)
a step at a time -> getting there

Morning
No joy, same error
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
linux-generic : Depends: linux-headers-generic (= 3.2.0.88.102) but 3.2.0.89.103 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
Would it be easier to rm the latest kernel and go back to an old one? or can I manually upload the missing file?

vs-ruthless; Morning;
We are making progress, and getting there.
We now have:
linux-generic : Depends: linux-headers-generic (= 3.2.0.88.102) but 3.2.0.89.103 is to be installed
And the verification:
iU linux-generic 3.2.0.88.102
linux-headers-3.2.0-88 3.2.0-88.126
Let's try this to make the package manager happy:
sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.2.0-88-generic
see if the old .102 version gets over-ridden by the newer .126 version. Hopefully the " linux-headers-generic " 3.2.0-88 version will be picked up and installed. Which is the one we are missing.
Ultimately we want the -88 and -89 versions installed and all other kernels removed. The -89 as the booting kernel and the -88 as the backup.
Unless I am being real dense and missing something else. Your thoughts ?
As around and around we go to get the kernels straight.
we can do that

vs-ruthless; YUK !
Nevermind my last thought, As I now see that is just what we just tried. Let me finish my coffee, and see if I can see this tree we are looking for in all this forest.
There must be a different way to make the kernel's files match up.
Think'n
make the package manager happy
Bashing-om
August 20th, 2015, 04:35 PM
vs-ruthless; OK;
My think'n - for what it is worth.
There can be but ONE set of control files
a) linux-generic
b) linux-headers-generic
c) linux-image-generic
These versions must match for the latest kernel that is installed.
So once more - with feeling - . let's see if we can make the version of " linux-generic" match that of " linux-headers-generic'
As " linux-headers-generic" is at the latest version, then "linux-generic" is the wrong version for the install.
Let's try a less invasive manner to remove and install:
Edited !
sudo dpkg -P linux-generic
sudo dpkg -P linux-image-generic
sudo apt-get install linux-generic
sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic
Depending now on what the system screams and hollers about is what we do to make it into a happy state.
There is no getting around the fact that these files must match version wise.
make it so

vs-ruthless; Yes !
What a load off .
Before we do the final cleanup, let's see what we can do about purging those kernel remnants.
Poke at it thusly:
sudo dpkg -P linux-image-3.2.0-31-generic
sudo dpkg -P linux-image-3.2.0-35-generic
sudo dpkg -P linux-headers-3.2.0-35-generic
sudo dpkg -P linux-headers-3.2.0-35
Why do we not see the -88 kernel on the /boot directory ???? IF the above runs and the -31 and -35 kernels are gone gone. Let's see what grub has to say about the -88 kernel:
sudo update-grub
I really think we best have the kernel issue at an end before we cleanup the system; paying real close attention to what 'autoremove' is going to remove ( that we might want, and thus re-install)
I am as pleased as Punch

Oh just to add i've just checked and webmin and I can now update packages as well.

Now there is a smile inplace . I can live with the fact that the newer kernel is now the backup kernel .
If you consider this matter settled, and are satisfied that there is resolution then signify as such:
