If you're running gutsy then that's not impossible. I've yet to see it happen but it most certainly is possible and I wouldn't doubt that it happens on occasion. I suspect that it might occur while a package is being updated on the server. If it's a stable release such as Feisty...there I'd be a little more surprised about it and wouldn't expect that it would happen. One little tip btw, aptitude from a command line is a little better than synaptic which is apt-get based. Aptitude has better dependency resolving and does a better job at cleanup if you remove a package. It's hardly something the average user needs to worry about, but if you play around a lot with different packages, aptitude can be a little nicer. No GUI though (there is text mode UI if you run it without parameters but I never do). -- Stephan 2003 Yamaha R6 君のこと思い出す日なんてないのは 君のこと忘れたときがないから |

Stephan, I will when I can. I had a little setback on the machine I was using for Ubuntu. I had a pre-Beta of Gutsy installed and decided to upgrade to the Beta. It stuck on the Partitioner, next thing I knew the drive with grub phase 2 on was corrupt and unbootable. I'm reinstalling the prior pre-Bata now. |
