On the two of my three boxes where I did an upgrade to 12.10, the upgrade process froze when it was far along. Sorry I can't recall exactly where - I believe it was the last step before cleaning up and rebooting. In both cases, I bombed off, then rebooted, and all appears well.
...until I try to do any kind of upgrade when notified that some applications have updates available. Poor Muon just reports that it can't get a lock (or something like that) because some other application has root access. (I probably don't have this message exactly right). As I always do when Muan walks into a wall, I fired up Synaptic, which reported:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
On my netbook, when this happened, I did as suggested, and while it took a while it clearly fixed the problem.
I report this here (as requested) in the hope that this might be useful to someone - and because I have no idea where else to report it.
