This is the third time I've tried and failed to upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy, so I thought I'd ask for help before just reinstalling Gutsy from CD again.
I haven't rebooted yet--I don't know if it'll work.
During the install, I started to get more and more errors popping up, and eventually the dependencies on packages with errors got to be too much: too much was being left unconfigurable, so the the upgrade aborted. The update manager seemed to crash and now I can't open it. The errors, in general, were "subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 139".
When I try to open Synaptic, I get this message:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
When I open the terminal and run the command, it tries to configure the previously failed packages. I again get a series of errors, starting with that same error 139, a couple of segmentation faults, then a long series of dependency problem errors. The last three lines before giving me my user prompt again are:
dpkg: too many errors, stopping
dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:252: process_queue: Assertion `!queuelen' failed.
Aborted
I have tried running apt-get install upgrade (and update) but the terminal just asks me to run dpkg --configure -a again, and I get the same results.
