    Upgrade Kubuntu

    Hi,

    I'm using Kubuntu 8.04. I have installed KDE 3.5.0 and KDE4. I have 47 upgraded packages available, but when I try to do that it gives me an error, this is the error:

    Extracting templates from packages: 100%
    Preconfiguring packages ...
    (Reading database ...
    dpkg: serious warning: files list file for package `esound-common' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed.

    Processing was halted because there were too many errors.
    E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

    What I have to do to upgrade my Kubuntu?

    Thank you,
    OG

    Hm, strange that.

    However, first thing is to install those packages listed with the following command:

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install esound-common gettext-base enscript tcl8.4 fdutils
    If that worked okay, I'd do a
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install -f
    just to check that everything is fine and dandy and then I'd do your upgrade.

    HTH

      When I try to install those packages the answer is that I have the newest version.

        I feared that it would have been too simple...

        Not wanting to doubt you, but could you please post your /etc/apt/sources.list? Apart from that I'm stumped at the mo... Did you try the sudo apt-get install -f ? I'd be loathed to recommend a sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a and I'm sure others may have a clue as to what is going on/experienced similar problems...

        So post you sources.list, try apt-get insall -f and hope for the best

          I already try sudo apt-get install - f ... it doesn't work!

            Re: Upgrade Kubuntu

            Hm, nothing else comes to mind. However, your problems do not appear to be kde specific. Have you had a look at the ubuntu forum?

            Apart from that, perhaps some guru or other has the answer. Sorry, lad...

                You might try to sort out the dpkg manager with:

                Code:
                sudo dpkg --configure -a
                I'll cross my fingers ....

                  Well, that would be my next call as well. But be aware that that command asks a lot of questions (you normally go for the default answer) and takes an age and a half.

                  Please do check the ubuntu forum first and, if you find anything that explains this behaviour, post it here for reference.

                  Thanks.
