I'm upgrading from 15.10 to 16.04, and the process appeared to be going smoothly for a while. The updater made it through the "Preparing to upgrade," "Setting new software channels," and "Getting new packages" steps without issue. However, about a quarter of the way through the "Installing the upgrades" step, an error dialog popped up with the following:
Could not install 'gconf2'
The upgrade will continue but the 'gconf2' package may not be in a working state. Please consider submitting a bug report about it.
dependency problems - leaving triggers unprocessed
I figured that something small had gone wrong, so I didn't worry about it. I clicked the "Close" button on the dialog box, and the dialog closed. Sadly, it immediately reopened. Every time I close it, it opens itself again. In the background, the upgrade appears to be frozen. Beneath the progress bar it says "Configuring dbus (amd64)" and the last thing in the Terminal at the bottom of the upgrade window is "Preparing to unpack .../libe-book-0.1-1_0.1.2-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb ..."
I can open other applications still (I've only tried it with the terminal), but I'm not really sure how to proceed. I imagine that rebooting partway through an upgrade would break something, and there doesn't seem to be an easy way to cancel or revert the process, so I came here hoping that someone had some suggestions for moving past this in the upgrade process.
