Hi,
I tried the upgrade to 8.04.1 from 7.10 today and now my installation is broken.
It took quite a bit to download and install but got stuck when about 20 mnts of installation time was remaining. The last set of messages were for generation of locales.
I had to reboot. Post reboot, my initial login prompt screen comes up but normal boot is not successful. It kind of hangs before painting the desktop. After a few trial and errors, I went thru Failsafe option. The network is not connected any longer.
Any attempt to run any upgrade related programs (dpkg, dselect, aptitude) result finally in 'run dpkg --configure -a' message.
That gets stuck at the same stage of installing locales 2.7.9-4 package. dpkg audit states that it is partially installed. I can not remove it nor it finishes intallation now !!
Can anyone help ?
Thanks in advance.
