Ubuntu
update-manager package

Not fatal Errors during upgrade will be automatically solved with upgrades?

Asked by giacomo

I got two errors during upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10.
Two packages weren't correct but I don't remember which were.
Nevertheless everything seems functioning well so how can I be sure those two errors will be corrected in some way?

Open a Terminal from the menu Applications → Accessories → Terminal and type:

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get --fix-missing install
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove

Hope this helps

sorry i forgot to tell you...

When the system ask you for a password, give your user password when requested, you will not see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

I ran them and it seems that there weren't really missing things... just some no more needed packages which were cleaned.

I do not know, anyway everything seems still functioning well... if in the future there will be some visible problem I'll let you know

Thanks for the help!!!
