[Bug 1044144] Re: Upgrade from kubuntu 12.04 to 12.10 failed using "sudo do-release-upgrade -d "

[Digulla-hepe]

This is a bug in the file /var/lib/dpkg/status

I found that it contains two entries for some packages:


Package: libreoffice3.5-dict-fr
Status: install ok installed
Installed-Size: 6796
Maintainer: Oracle
Architecture: amd64
Version: 3.5.1-102
Depends: libreoffice3.5-ure, libobasis3.5-core01, libobasis3.5-core02, libobasis3.5-core03, libobasis3.5-core04, libobasis3.5-core05, libobasis3.5-core06, libobasis3.5-core07, libreoffice3.5

Package: libreoffice3.5-dict-fr

Most lines are the same but these:

Status: install ok installed
Status: deinstall ok config-files

Architecture: amd64
Architecture: i386

Maybe the upgrade tried to switch from the i386 to amd64?

Title:
  Upgrade from kubuntu 12.04 to 12.10 failed using "sudo do-release-
  upgrade -d "

Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Running a 12.04 Kubuntu system (which was originally set up as a 11.10
  Ubuntu, then switched to KDE, then upgraded to 12.04).  Ran "sudo do-
  release-upgrade -d" since the "update-manager -d" was failing (which
  is a documented known bug).

  The release upgrader downloaded all packages and threw the following
  error:

  
  Processing triggers for man-db ...
  dpkg: error: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 48205 package 'libibus-1.0-0:i386':

  Error in function: 

  
  A fatal error occurred 

  Please report this as a bug and include the files 
  /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log and /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log in 
  your report. The upgrade has aborted. 
  Your original sources.list was saved in 
  /etc/apt/sources.list.distUpgrade. 

  SystemError: E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)


  Could not install the upgrades

  The upgrade has aborted. Your system could be in an unusable state. A 
  recovery will run now (dpkg --configure -a). 

  Please report this bug in a browser at

  and attach the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ to the bug report.
