Upgrade tool crashed near the end of installing packages - How do I rerun it?

[andyanderso]

Very near the end of installing my new packages the upgrade tool for Hardy crashed. It did not do the clean step or the restarting step. I ran autoremove and autoclean and restarted. Everything seems to work fine. Apt-get finds no updates but there are still several packages in the local (installed or obselete) filter in synaptic. Php, apache and MySQL seemed to be causing the upgrade some problems but hey all seem to work fine now. How can I rerun the Hardy upgrade to make sure everything installed and all is well?

try this:

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

try this:

sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
I did that and it seems to think everything is just fine. Here is the output:

andy@hermes:~$ sudo apt-get -f install

if you have the gnome interface go into the about screen and it should say 8.04
