Feisty-Gutsy upgrade problem

Asked by Rich

I received the following errors during the upgrade:
E: tzdata: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 10
E: util-linux: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: locales: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: language-pack-en-base: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: language-pack-kde-en-base: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: util-linux-locales: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: ubuntu-minimal: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: language-pack-en: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: language-pack-kde-en: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

System boots, however, I cannot reinstall any of the packages listed above (each attempt fails). I have no idea of any of those packages are suitable for a "forced" remove?

Doesn't really look like you could just get rid of them. Maybe first try automatic dependency fixing with apt:

sudo apt-get --fix-broken install

(In terminal; synaptic has an option in menus for that too.)

Thanks for the suggestion. I gave it a try, unfortunately each of the features had the same dependency problems reported.

After searching the web, I found several people had issues with tzdata. I followed the suggestion of making my timezone Europe - Berlin. It worked, I was able to use sudo apt-get --fix broken install to fix the packages which were previously unconfigured.

I have the same problem, and the solution works, change the timezone and re run fix broken to see results. Thanks

This fix may fail. Try changing the timezone in the time and date tool in system->administration.
        sudo apt-get --fix-broken install
It worked for me after the timezone change

Been using Fiesty for months with no problems. Been doing all updates. Tried to update to 7.10 today. It didn't finish and now the update manager, bile browser and clicking the orange star doesn't work. I now wish I hadn't tried the upgrade!!! Can anyone help me???.

Please make a new question, there are many potential problems.
For a start open a terminal (applications-->accessories) paste in it "sudo apt-get update" (without quotes) and paste the output in that new question.
