Since upgrading to 12.04 from 8.04->10.04 I can no longer upgrade or install new packages.



I do get a large number of errors, but the first is the resyslog:



 root@sub:~# apt-get -f install
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.

After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used.
Setting up rsyslog (5.8.6-1ubuntu8.6) ...
dpkg: error processing rsyslog (--configure):

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of ubuntu-minimal:
ubuntu-minimal depends on rsyslog; however:
Package rsyslog is not configured yet.


So I try to reinstalling everything:



apt-get install --reinstall dpkg


This throws up:

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of ubuntu-minimal:

So I believe if I can fix the rsyslog we'll be getting somewhere :/

Run:



sudo dpkg -r rsyslog


if it is successful or not, run:



gksudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/status


In the resulting gedit, delete the whole section starts with



Package : rsyslog



close and run an update.

  • I didn't want to remove the package because it was "linux-image*" in my case, too dangerous. But the system is working fine, so I just edited /var/lib/dpkg/status changing "half-configured" to "installed", all is good now. :)

This has worked. Not sure why above is marked as recommended. Nobody should be recommended to remove a package without re-installing it.



Correct answer to:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of logcheck:
logcheck depends on rsyslog | system-log-daemon; however:
Package rsyslog is not configured yet.
Package system-log-daemon is not installed.
Package rsyslog which provides system-log-daemon is not configured yet.



dpkg: error processing package logcheck (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.130) ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.18.0-0.bpo.3-amd64
W: initramfs-tools configuration sets RESUME=/dev/dm-1
W: but no matching swap device is available.
Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.24-11+deb9u4) ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
rsyslog
logcheck



E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
