Upgrading to Ubuntu 11.04 failed
- by Rupert
Today Ubuntu asked me to upgrade to 11.04. The installation went completely fine until right at the end when the following packages failed:
install-info
ubuntu-standard
The installer hung so I had to shut it down manually. Ubuntu still works fine but it says that the upgrade didn't work properly so I am hesitant to restart it until I have resolved the problem in case I can't get back in.
I am running Ubuntu inside the latest version of Virtual Box and was previously running version 10.10.
I have tried installing install-info manually with apt-get but I get the following error:
Unhandled exception: [#<SystemStackError: stack level too deep>]
