LL update error

[pkmaarsen]

Hi all. I am a newbie in LL Forums. Try to define my problem as well as possible. Upon installing updates for LL 3.8, I always get error messages, like: while processing python-crypto, etc. errors occured. See Attachment. Could you please, help me? Paul. ===========================

Thank you!

Try:

Code:

sudo apt-get install -f

[pkmaarsen]

Thank you, Jerry, for your help. Unfortunately this command has not changed anything. The weird thing is that my system still works! My Synaptic Package Manager tells me that the python installed version (2.7.12-1~16.04) is the latest version as well. The same is true for python-crypto, pytho-samba, etc. Maybe I just have to ignore the "errors"? I am too much of a perfectionist? I am totally illiterate as far as computers are concerned. The more I admire what you - with a small crew - have been able to produce: a system that is simple for users as I am and competing with big-business microsoft. I have been using Linux Mint 14 (xfce) for a number of years on this old machine. So the step to LL was simple. Ciao, Paul.       

[charvie]

Try all of these from command line:

sudo apt-get update –fix-missing
sudo dpkg –configure -a
sudo apt-get install -f

Hope it helps,
Charvie

Thanks Charvie. This was the result:

Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages [*];
Use 'apt' or 'aptitude' for user-friendly package management;
Type dpkg -Dhelp for a list of dpkg debug flag values;
Type dpkg --force-help for a list of forcing options;

Options marked [*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through 'less' or 'more' !

Can you make something out of it?
Ciao, Paul

[charvie]

Sorry, My mistake:

New first line:

sudo apt-get --fix-missing --reinstall install python python-minimal dh-python

Second line  sudo dpkg –configure -a

should be

sudo dpkg --configure -a

then do
sudo apt-get install -f

Hope better results,
Charvie

Alas, Charvie. Thanks for your attempts.
Ciao, Paul.

Hi [member=7608]pkmaarsen[/member] ,

You seem to have a 32bit installation.
Can you please verify how much memory you have by running
this command

Code:

sudo lshw -c memory

in the terminal

Then please copy the whole result here.

Thanks!

Before we carry on with a cycle of "sudo apt-get install -f" and other commands which don't seem to be working, that we clear the decks first......

From the outputs posted by @pkmaarson the python and samba installs have become corrupted somehow and repeating the above command is not going to solve this.
python-crypto, python-samba, samba-common-bin, samba, python-apt  seem to be giving the problem, so why not purge them first, and hopefully have a clean slate.
I suggest the following:

Code:

sudo apt-get purge samba*
sudo apt-get purge python*
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get clean

I would then reboot and then try an update

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

If the upgrade goes ok, then try and reinstall python and samba and any other modules that your programs might need.

[member=7644]DeepThought[/member] , please let the guy do first as I asked for him to do.

I didn't ask that specific question just out of my hat
