Binary package hint: configlet-frontends
First I have updated Kubuntu 6.10 and KDE like in the preconditions described.
Then I have startet a reboot to Console-modus.
After that: ~$ sudo do-release-upgrade
All new packages were loaded from Internet.
Then upgrade of about 1650 packages started.
The first 600 were ok with no problems.
Then the procedure stopped with error messages about problems with: libarts1-dev, libapt-pkg-dev, libesd0-dev and apt-utils
I have restartet the procedure by: ~$ sudo dselect and [I]nstall
Further 100 packages were upgraded.
Then the procedure stopped again because "configlet-frontends" can't be found
I wasn't able to find it, too!
So I have fetched: python-configlet_2.4ubuntu1_all.deb by Internet and have installed it: ~$ sudo dpkg -i python-configlet_2.4ubuntu1_all.deb
After that: ~$ sudo dselect and [I]nstall again
The Ugrade ended fine and the server is running fine now - no further problems occur till now.
Is this symptom still reproducible in a distribution upgrade to 8.10 beta?
