Synaptic Package Manager install stuck
I tried installing Samba4 with synaptic, halfway through the install it
stopped with error code 255. So I closed SPM, and went on to other things.
Today I went to install something else, again half-way through it quit
with error code255, I clicked on the details link, and it showed that
Samba was still in process. I rebooted, then tried again, still Samba is
stuck in the same place. So after some searching I found another thread
here covering the exact thing, and offered the following fix, I quote
accepted
The problem is close to this one and to others that now I don't seem able
to find here. I will re-edit when I 'll find them.
It is a bug it looks like, and the solution consists in typing
sudo rm -rf /var/cache/debconf/* sudo apt-get install -f
I opened a terminal and typed in the commands, then tried SPM again, you
guessed it, Samba still stuck in the same place. This even has apt-get
locked up. Has anyone else had this problem?
