This morning Xubuntu popped a window and informed me I could upgrade from 13.10 to 14.04 by merely pushing a button.Who could resist?
The window showed download progress on a lot of files and then began the installation progress. Shortly after it disappeared which I presumed wasn't a good thing.
I rebooted and ran "apt-get update" and it showed some problems the root of which seemed to be uno-libs3 which is a libreoffice dependency. It's installation was seriously munged. It couldn't be removed normally though libreoffice was removed successfully. To remove it I ran:
Code:
sudo dpkg --purge --force-remove-reinstreq uno-libs3
This cleaned it up. After that:
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
followed be a reboot and I'm on Xubuntu 14.04.
During the initial setup (from the gui) the installer reinstalled sources.list and indicated that some repos would have to be reinstalled. I'm not sure yet all that has been affected but I have had to reinstall pepperflashplugin-nonfree.
I haven't reinstalled libreoffice yet (and may not).
If anyone has a similar problem hopefully this post will help.
