    Updater Error and Solution

    I encountered an error while upgrading from Edgy to Feisty. The upgrade failed with about 9 minutes left while installing/upgrading packages. I couldn't submit a bug report as it was telling me that Kwin had actually crashed. I was able to save the installation (and my computer) by using

    sudo dpkg --configure -a
    This is the second time that it has happened (as I tried upgrading to Herd 4 at one point). I'm not sure if this has happened to anybody else, but if it is a bug in the updater, then more people will be running into these problems.

    If you have encountered this problem, run the above code and you should be able to save the upgrade.
    Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals ... except the weasel.
Working...
