I have a problem with the Update Manager

Asked by Simon Brouillard

Le 24 juillet 2009

I receivedm data about
Gestionnaire de mise jour
concernant les paquets
suivants:

1. firefox
Changements:
Version 3.0.12+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.04.1 :

  * security/stability v3.0.12 build1 (FIREFOX_3_0_12_BUILD1)
    - see USN-798-1
  * drop patches applied upstream
    - delete debian/patches/bz412610_att335369_realpath_overflow.patch
    - update debian/patches/series

2. firefox-3.0
Changements:
Version 3.0.12+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.04.1 :

  * security/stability v3.0.12 build1 (FIREFOX_3_0_12_BUILD1)
    - see USN-798-1
  * drop patches applied upstream
    - delete debian/patches/bz412610_att335369_realpath_overflow.patch
    - update debian/patches/series

3. firefox-3.0-branding
Changements:
Version 3.0.12+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.04.1 :

  * security/stability v3.0.12 build1 (FIREFOX_3_0_12_BUILD1)
    - see USN-798-1
  * drop patches applied upstream
    - delete debian/patches/bz412610_att335369_realpath_overflow.patch
    - update debian/patches/series

etc...
Lorsque je presse le bouton "Installer les mises a jour"
rien ne se passe. Et a plusieurs reprises par jour,
le gestionnaire de mises a jour s'affiche avec
toujours les memes mises a jour

Pourquoi?

Ubuntu launch the Update Manager 3 or 4 times each session
with all the same packages to update.

Tanks a lot

 I use the last full upgrade of UBUNTU 9.04 SINCE A FEW DAYS!

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make Ubuntu better. Examining the information you have given us, this does not appear to be a bug report so we are closing it and converting it to a question in the support tracker. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but it would make more sense to raise problems you are having in the support tracker at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu if you are uncertain if they are bugs. For help on reporting bugs, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs.

Open a Terminal from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter

Then please also type or copy and paste a row a time then press enter:

sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get --fix-missing install
sudo apt-get clean all
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get clean all
sudo apt-get autoremove

then please reboot your system, type

sudo reboot

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

Hope this helps

Thanks a lot... This procedure in a terminal is a success!
Cela a installé mes 11 mise a jour et par la suite
lorsque j'ai relancé le Gestionnaire de mises a jour, il n'y avait plus
d'autres mises a jour a faire. TOUT EST OK!
