Ubuntu
update-manager package

Not all updates can be installed

Asked by Pabs

Hi. I tried installing Kdenlive through the terminal some time ago. I wasn't able to finish the process, but I screwed up the sources.list file causing the Synaptic Package and Add/Remove feature to display an error message when clicked.

I used "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" as advised by one of the helpful people here in LaunchPad. It was fixed (the Add/Remove button and the Synaptic Package were now opened), but now, there seems to be a problem still rooted to what I did trying to install Kdenlive. Update Manager says there are 5 updates available, but when I click the notification, it says:
==============
Not all updates can be installed

Run a partial upgrade, to install as many updates as possible.

This can be caused by:
> A previous upgrade which didn't complete
> Problems with some of the installed software
> Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
> Normal changes of a pre-release version of Ubuntu
===============

When I click on Partial Upgrade, the upgrade gets through these processes (Getting new packages, Installing the upgrades, and Cleaning up). But when the progress bar is nearly full and the status under it says "Reading Cache" it says this:
===============
Error authenticating some packages

It was not possible to authenticate some packages. This may be a transient network problem. You may want to try again later. See below for a list of unauthenticated packages.

Could the sources.list debacle have caused this error?

Open a Terminal under Gnome you can open it from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal in kubuntu i don't remeber the posistion must search it into the KDE menu... then 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 dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove

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

Hope this helps

Hello. I'll try this when I get home. Didn't have internet connection for two days. I'm keeping the question open just in case. Thanks!

Hey. Thanks again for the advice!! The terminal tips worked-I think. An error occurred while I ran Update Manager. It went this way:
=========**********=========
W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net hardy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 9423A34CCA967634

Is this an error, or is this because there is no update in store?

Hello. Been quite some time before I got to access the net here. Some technical problems with the ISP. Anyway, your advice was effective! I can now update my package. Thanks a lot!
