Upgrade stalled on Virtuoso. I killed quantal & another process. Too many errors. What now?

Asked by Chris Williamson

The upgrade to Quantal downloaded everything it needed, I think, and a few times asked me about replacing configuration files, then stalled while updating Virtuoso Open Source. KDE uses Virtuoso as part of its semantic desktop feature set, and I recall setting up a Virtuoso database just to tinker with it back in June, after I installed the KDE desktop and made it my primary working environment. I didn't do much with Virtuoso beyond creating this test instance, and I recall trying to make sure I removed the extra files I created, but maybe I left something broken.

Anyway, after some searching and browsing for answers, I killed the quantal process and one other I can't exactly remember, then tried sudo dpkg --configure -a, which appeared to work on a few items, then listed a growing number of errors until ending with something like:

I then found this page:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure

I pasted the lines in step 5 into the terminal and ran them. The output is below, but it was so long that it begins somewhere in the output between the autoclean and autoremove commands. I'm leaving the machine on, so I can rerun any part of that list of commands if anyone needs me to. I suspect I may need to make sure my home folders (I use three different accounts) are backed up, then wipe my disk and start over with a fresh Kubuntu install. But if anyone could help me avoid that right now, I"d appreciate it. Thanks!

Chris Williamson (chriswilliamson-i) said : 		#1

I'm not exactly sure what, if anything, I did to make this happen, but while writing my post a dialog popped up reading: Software Updater / The computer needs to restart to finish installing updates. / Restart . I'll resist the temptation until someone can advise whether clicking this button is a good idea.

Did you upgrade directly from Jaunty to Quantal by any chance?

Revision history for this message
Chris Williamson (chriswilliamson-i) said : 		#3

Nope. From Precise. In fact I added the Kubuntu backports sources a month or two ago, which I'd think would put me a little further ahead than most when I started the process.

This also happened to me while upgrading from precise to quantal

JanMalte (janmalte) said : 		#5

Running this command over and over again while killing dpkg when it hangs on configure virtuoso took me some further in the upgrade process:
sudo rm -r /var/cache/debconf/ ; sudo mkdir /var/cache/debconf ; sudo chmod -R 777 /var/cache/debconf ; sudo dpkg --configure -a

These are the last packages which can't be installed properly:
 virtuoso-opensource-6.1
 virtuoso-opensource
 dictionaries-common
 virtuoso-vad-rdfmappers
 virtuoso-vad-conductor
 virtuoso-vad-isparql

 virtuoso-vad-syncml
 virtuoso-vsp-startpage

Chris Williamson (chriswilliamson-i) said : 		#7

Thanks, Jan! I took a slightly different route than you did to create the new directory: I entered Alt+F2 to get KRunner, then gksudo dolphin there to open the file manager as root. From there I navigated to /var/cache/ and renamed debconf to debconf-old. Then I made a new folder, and when I checked its permissions they were the same as the -old one, so I went with that. Then I went back to the terminal window and ran sudo dpkg --configure -a, and from there it looked like a fairly normal upgrade completion--even the Virtuoso packages.

Mark Fraser (launchpad-mfraz) said : 		#8

I managed to get the upgrade going again by killing the virtuoso-t process from within Konsole. Not sure what damage this will do to the rest of the upgrade.
