[Bug 858167] [NEW] terminal freeze during update operation

Tue Dec 13 04:47:02 UTC 2011

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Update operation done by update manager froze at the stage of grub update. Since then it is impossible to open the synaptic package manager[(E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. 
E: _cache->open() failed, please report].
I tried in vain in the terminal the suggested command (sudo dpkg --configure -a) - the termunal freezes at  the stage of grub update.
It is impossible to see new updates in the  the update manager ( it is stuck on a message "Not all updates can be installed" and it is impossible to complete a partial upgrade.
Start up time now is very slow - 4-5 minutes!
