<span class="gmail_quote"></span>Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm having an issue with my Ubuntu box, when ever I run<br>
<br>
# sudo apt-get dist-upgrade<br>
<br>
my box will either seemingly hang, or the screen will go black and the box reboot.<br>
<br>
I've managed to whittle it down to a couple of files that are being
deleted by apt-get. Lo and behold, if I try and delete the same files
the box dies. The strange thing is that they are text files, so I don't
know why on earth the box would flip out like this (I could understand
if i was doing it to loaded modules).<br>
<br>
The files are ...<br>
<br>
root@bunbun:/usr/share/doc/dbus-glib-1 # ls -l<br>
ls: changelog.Debian.gz.dpkg-tmp: Permission denied<br>
ls: README.dpkg-tmp: Permission denied<br>
total 168<br>
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3876 Mar 11 17:55 NEWS.gz<br>
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3876 Sep 3 17:45 NEWS.gz.dpkg-new<br>
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5749 Aug 11 22:09 changelog.Debian.gz<br>
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 75345 Mar 11 18:11 changelog.gz<br>
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 75345 Mar 11 18:11 changelog.gz.dpkg-tmp<br>
<br>
NEWS.gz, changelog.Debian.gz and changelog.gz are all red in the directory listing, I don't know if that has any significance.<br>
<br>
Please could someone help and point me in the right direction?<br>
<br>
Many Thanks<br><span class="sg">
