While upgrading form 7.10 to 8.04 (through the Update Manager)some installation errors (Python) occured.
The upgrade suggested to do a manually "dpkg --configure -a".
When I rebooted, the login windows appeared, but some parts of my UI changed, firefox won't start up, HAL error, ...
I switched to terminal window, did a "dpkg --confiugre -a" which displayed following dependency problem
Setting up python2.5-minimal (2.5.2-2ubuntu4)
... a whole lot of errors with always python in
(I couldn't copy paste the error because I was unable to open firefox, etc to copy paste it to my email or some file, USB-stick also won't work, just like burning a cd-rom :o
...
dpkg: too many errors, stopping
spkg: ../../src/packages.C:252: process_queue: Assertion ´!queuelen' failed. Aborted (core dumped)
I did try
sudo apt-get update
Extraction (could'n copy paste again): Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com.....
W: some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct this problem
Which again, brings me back to the first problem... :(
Thanks in advance!
