Hi

I just did an 'apt-get upgrade -s' and found these updates were required

Reading package lists... Done

So I did an 'apt-get upgrade' and got these problems

Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I don't have the time to fix this problem right now. I don't actually
expect to have the time to repair this problem for about 12-14 days.

So it seems like a good idea to post this problem and see if anyone
else has experienced problems with this set of upgrades, if a bug has
been raised, whether I face a complete re-install or not, or whether
the whole situation is completely recoverable in some way.

If anyone can shed some light on what I should do I will let you know
how I got on in about two week's time.

I'm running a Barton core btw.

Thanks in advance

Lesley

I don't know what a Barton core is. I'm running i386 and amd64 on two
different boxes (with an i386 chroot too) and didn't have a problem.

Right now, you should have the new cpio unpacked and therefore the new
binaries will be used.

You could look at /var/lib/dpkg/info/cpio*

The related scripts seem to be setting up update-alternatives. Try
running the scripts manually and track the problem.

Unfortunatly, since cpio is required, you can't just easily remove it
and then install it.

Doug.
