[Bug 1329066] Re: package ubuntu-docs 12.04.4 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: kunde inte ta status på (avreferera) befintlig symbolisk länk "/usr/share/help/de/ubuntu-help/shell-windows-maximize.page": In/ut-fel

 

Hi Lars,

Thanks for the report. Unfortunately this kind of failure happens once
in a while. Sometimes the bug reports are accompanied with an automated
message saying that it's likely a hardware error, but this report does
not contain enough info to tell.

May I suggest that you try to purge the ubuntu-docs package, try

sudo apt-get upgrade

again, and let us know the result.

If that doesn't help, and since this was a new install, I suppose it's
easiest to start it all over. However, if you do, I'd suggest that you
use the 12.04.4 ISO file instead of the original 12.04 to reduce the
number of updates. (Or why not install the latest LTS, Ubuntu 14.04?)

Status in “ubuntu-docs” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  New ubuntu installation 12.04 LTS failed to update completely. There
  were about 662 (!) updates available, but after running "apt-get
  install -f" - command in in Terminal and also restarting after
  recovery-mood there are still 295 updates that refuses to install. My
  expectation was of course that none of this would have happened but a
  smooth install leading to a fully functional system!
