I have been using Kubuntu since Breezy on my home computer and my laptop. Since installing Hardy I have the same problem occurring seemingly more and more frequently, and is identical on both machines. During an adept package update, a package (always different) refuses to update, then becomes impossible to update, purge or remove, giving "package is in a very bad state" messages, and then prevents any other packages from updating. I've always tried dpkg --configure -a , aptitude install -f and apt-get -f install, and all types of approaches such as trying to force an earlier version, changing repositories and others suggested in the forums, and have never had any success, always having to re-install. My last installation was only a week ago and I'm in the same position again, today with xulrunner.
Can anyone come up with an explanation for this- is it Hardy or is it me?:confused:
