As the title states...it just stopped unpacking/installing.
"Preparing to unpack .../lirc_0.9.0-0ubuntu5_amd64.deb ..."
then stopped in its tracks. Everything else is still running.
The update manager process is still alive; if I hit ctrl-c, it gives me the warning message about leaving the system in a broken state. Also, if I run top, there is a process called "trusty" which is still running. I have NOT killed either process.
lsb_release -a gives:
LSB Version: core-2.0-amd64:core-2.0-noarch:core-3.0-amd64:core-3.0-noarch:core-3.1-amd64:core-3.1-noarch:core-3.2-amd64:core-3.2-noarch:core-4.0-amd64:core-4.0-noarch Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS Release: 14.04 Codename: trusty
I assume that if I try to restart update-manager, I won't be offered the option to upgrade again.
Anyone have a way I can get the update-manager/dist-upgrade process to simply finish the upgrade?
Thanks!
