So I figured since the final was 2 days away I would do the upgrade now. Did the same thing from 13.10 to 14.04 and no major issues other than to reinstall Nvidia driver. This time a bunch of things are not configuring and when I exit and try things manually I get all these dependency issues:

dpkg: error processing package libmrm4:amd64 (--configure):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
dpkg: too many errors, stopping

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

This is the example.

This from a sudo apt-get -f install.

I tried clean I tried -upgrade I tried -f with the upgrade, I tried dpkg -a.

What am I doing wrong? If need be I can back up my /home reboot to my 14.04.1 live DVD and reinstall but I am trying not to do that if I can get past this. Any help would be appreciated.

Fairly current desktop with a AMD quad core 64bit chip using 64 bit Ubuntu on a Asus motherboard with a Nvidia 550ti video card and 8GB of DDR3 ram. No other issues with my HW. Plenty of HDD space as well.

Again any help would be appreciated.

  • Have you tried to set the abort-after option ? Or force-bad-version ? Or configure-any ? Set those in the file /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg. See info dpkg for details. Oct 30, 2014 at 10:30
  • or trie to install only a few programs (eg. sudo apt-get install procps) Oct 30, 2014 at 10:32
