It seems to be a sepolgen related problem.

Apparently resolved some problem by :
# rm /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/sepolgen/__init__.py
# nano /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/sepolgen/__init__.py
# dpkg -e /var/cache/apt/archives/sepolgen_1.0.11-0ubuntu1_all.deb
# dpkg -e /var/cache/apt/archives/python-sepolgen_1.0.11-0ubuntu1_all.deb
# dpkg --configure -a

but still have problem with those :

For the python-sepolgen problem it looks like the following is happening:

1. python-sepolgen (new package) is unpacked but the posinst script did not yet run
2. python-libxml2 gets unpacked and the prerm is run (because it gets upgraded)
3. python-support expects files in /var/lib/python-support/python2.4/sepolgen/__init__.py that are not there yet (because the postinst of python-sepolgen was not yet run) and crashes

The bug is slightly more complicated to reproduce. The replacment of sepolgen is the key, the new package is empty, that means that:

$ ls -l /var/lib/python-support/python2.4/sepolgen/__init__.py
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 55 2008-03-31 13:43 /var/lib/python-support/python2.4/sepolgen/__init__.py -> /usr/share/python-support/sepolgen/sepolgen/__init__.py

is pointing to a non-existing target when the python-support runs.

Reproducable with the sepolgen and python-libxml2 from gutsy and then:

$ sudo dpkg --unpack /var/cache/apt/archives/sepolgen_1.0.11-0ubuntu1_all.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/python-sepolgen_1.0.11-0ubuntu1_all.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/python-libxml2_2.6.31.dfsg-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb

from hardy.

This bug was fixed in the package python-support - 0.7.5ubuntu1

---------------
python-support (0.7.5ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  * update-python-modules:
    - deal with package content moving from package foo to empty foo and
      new python-foo (LP: #208961)

Hi ldng,

This mesa error message is reminiscent of problems I've seen before involving diversions, and nvidia glx packages. Can you please provide the output from these two commands?

dpkg-divert --list '*GL*'
dpkg -l '*gl*'

coastgnu,

You don't appear to have reported problems with mesa on upgrade, however. I need this information from the original submitter of this bug report, ldng, who unfortunately ran into two unrelated problems in the same upgrade.

I have this error when its on setting new software channels...

A unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.

 This can be caused by:
 * Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
 * Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
 * Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu

this is the bug report...

Sorry for answering late, been busy. That's what I have rightnow but I'm not sure it's still relevant
as package seems fixed. hope it helps.

ldng, thanks for following up. It's unfortunate that you're unable to reproduce the problem now, since I don't see anything in the changelogs that would explain this being fixed. Then again, I couldn't find anything in the *package* that explains why it was broken either...

coastgnu, since it appears that you and ldng both had the same gl driver package installed, perhaps we can still narrow this down with your help. Please send the output of the following commands:

 ls -l /usr/lib/fglrx /usr/X11R6/lib/fglrx
 dpkg -s xorg-driver-fglrx
 dpkg -L xorg-driver-fglrx

Ok, so unfortunately at this point the upgrade failure appears to be completely unreproducible and I can't find any trace of it in the xorg-driver-fglrx package.

The failure does point to a diversions problem, so it's not a bug in mesa and I'm reassigning; but I'm also dropping this package from the Ubuntu 8.04 milestone - between being unreproducible and not being generally reported, it's not a blocker for the release.

I agree, I think you can dedicate your time to more useful bugs has it seems fixed.
Thanks for take care Steve.

Hey,

  I had the same problem but more strangely I didn't even had fglrx installed. As soon as I removed the diversions everything worked perfect, here maybe it helps you too...

This is on a kubuntu 7.10 upgraded to 8.04.

Has anyone been able to reproduce it lately? If it's no longer occurring for anyone maybe we don't need to have this bug open.

No response in a number of months; assuming this is no longer an issue we need to keep open. Feel free to reopen with additional details if this is incorrect.
