apt-get upgrade problems

#1 Post by stembot »

I've been having some problems with many gtk-oriented apps ever since installing kolf (some KDE golf game), which in turn upgraded a bunch of KDE stuff, and other things I'm sure I didn't notice.

So, I go to run apt-get upgrade and it does its thing for quite some time, and then:

Errors were encountered while processing:
libgtk2.0-bin
libwmf0.2-7
gimp
libgnome2-common
libgnome2-0
libbonoboui2-0
libgnomeui-0
gnome-alsamixer
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Help. Please!!

It did a few things OK, then got here:

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libgnome2-0:
libgnome2-0 depends on libgnome2-common (= 2.10.1-1); however:
Package libgnome2-common is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing libgnome2-0 (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Setting up mozilla-firefox (1.0.6-5) ...
Updating mozilla-firefox chrome registry...


and hung. Maybe it will finish, but it's been over 15 minutes.

stembot> Package libgnome2-common is not configured yet.

What happens when you do dpkg --configure libgnome2-common?

Well, duh! Let's try dpkg --install libgnome2-common. This should either install the package or give us a decent error messsage.
