Problem with Updatemanager and apt-get upgrade
 

We have Ubuntu Precise on all machines here.

On the Dell laptop there is an issue I cannot resolve and would
appreciate some help if possible please.


Running apt-get update && apt-get upgrade as sudo su, I get an error
message as below.

I have run apt-get autoremove on each one, then apt-get autoclean
Googled MaxReports - /var/crash is empty, there is no .crash file as
mentioned in

http://languor.us/kubuntu-precise-no-apport-report-written-because-maxreports-reached-already.

Tried removing the files reported as no longer required, they will not
remove.


Still get the MaxReports error

Thanks in advance
Roger

Problem with Updatemanager and apt-get upgrade
 

Roger,


Your message shows several separate items to be addressed:
1: packages that are no longer needed
2: a crash (or possible previous crash)
3: install failure because of a symbolic link 'owned' by the wrong
package

Item 3 is the critical one. It appears that the versions of
openjdk-6-jre-headless and of default-jre-headless on that laptop *both*
claim to own the symbolic link /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk:
dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/openjdk-6-jre-headless_6b24-1.11.3-1ubuntu0.11.10.1_i386.deb
(--unpack):
trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk', which is also
in package default-jre-headless 1:1.6-43ubuntu2



My system (64-bit precise) has
default-jre-headless: 1:1.6-43ubuntu2
openjdk-6-jre-headless: 6b24-1.11.3-1ubuntu0.12.04.1

and the link is owned by default-jre-headless:
$ ls -ld /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Dec 3 2011 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk
-> java-1.6.0-openjdk-amd64
$ dpkg -S /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk
default-jre-headless: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk

So the conflict doesn't exist for 64-bit systems.


This looks like a packaging bug between openjdk-6-jre-headless
6b24-1.11.3-1ubuntu0.11.10.1 and default-jre-headless 1:1.6-43ubuntu2 on
32-bit systems.

Problem with Updatemanager and apt-get upgrade
 

Tim thanks for your reply.



yes* ls -ld /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk shows the link.

I am puzzled because we have had 64 bit on the laptop for a couple
of years or more.



I did unlink /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk but error remains.

What steps should be followed to remove offending packages and
reset the system?



This is way out of my league so pointers or specific directions
would greatly assist.

Thanks in advance

Roger

Remove /all/ Java packages, then install the latest version that you
actually want.

Synaptic is a really simple way to see what you have installed. Enter
"java" in the search box, then click on the "installed" column header
to sort by that column.

Install the galternatives package to see what your system is using with
regards to every single alternative setting for each and every java app.
You'll find surprises in there, for sure! Once in awhile I go into it to
weed out update changes that muck it up. Ric
