[Bug 1323384] Re: Updating ubuntu 10.04 LTS to 12.04.4 LTS Failed

[wgkoch]

I saw that but I could not understand what I could do about it, if
anything at this point.  The system is running, but it isn't right yet
and I haven't been able to figure out how to get dchcp3 server to
install and configure at all.  Tells me that some of the dhcp server
config is, but it won't remove it either.

I got similar errors to these, too, when I let webmin initiate and run
apt updates for some cups stuff recently, too.

The system seems in some kind of working limbo.  apache3 is cool,
popfile is cool, samba works, dhcp server is gone and cannot be brought
back by removing/installing.  Also noticed that the grub update in that
apt-term.log was strange and am thinking that the grub configuration is
flawed.  Maybe running whatever was there before the upgrade to 12.04
LTS.  Might explain the dhcp server issue?  But, I don't know how or
what to do about that either.

Do you have any recommendations on how to repair this partially
successful upgrade or would you suggest I bail on this server entirely
and try building a new one all over again?

Thanks for your help.

Title:
  Updating ubuntu 10.04 LTS to 12.04.4 LTS Failed

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  First experience with this SERVER update using the update-manager via
  Putty connection to a very old laptop IBM running a few services
  nicely 2-3 years.  After 7 HOURS, the update falied.  Some services
  seem to have survived (apache, DNS are running) but others aren't
  (e.g. dhcp and I cannot manage it with Webmin).  Popfile survived AND
  was updated cleanly (I think) and is running.  Webmin is sketchy and
  apt seems not to be looking in the right places yet.  Enough is
  working that I can get by, which is a surprise, but I am not that
  proficient that I trust myself to fix the stuff and worry that I may
  lose my services and have to build a new server after all this.

  Anyway...after spending 7 hours watching the show, I find it unlikely
  I will ever try another update with that tool.  So I will try to give
  you what I have and maybe you can learn something from it and convince
  me to try again at another time when I can afford that much.  I could
  have just built a new server in this much time.

  Good luck.  I appreciate your work, but this part of it needs help.
