dbus Hang While Distro Upgrading
« on: 2018/10/09, 23:24:14 »
For those who have not distro upgraded lately, I attempted to distro upgrade yesterday and processing triggers for dbus appeared to hang.  I ended up having to reboot my machine after waiting over 2 hours.  I then attempted to distro upgrade again and received an error message about a dpkg issue, with a command to remedy the issue.  Sorry, I didn't note the issue or the command to use.

Following are the packages that were upgraded:

Code: [Select]
  apt apt-utils desktop-file-utils dmidecode dpkg dpkg-dev evince evince-common
  exo-utils firebird3.0-common firebird3.0-common-doc firebird3.0-server-core
  firebird3.0-utils gettext gettext-base gir1.2-soup-2.4 gnucash gnucash-common
  gnuplot-data gnuplot-x11 libapt-inst2.0 libapt-pkg5.0 libdpkg-perl
  libevdocument3-4 libevview3-3 libexo-1-0 libexo-2-0 libexo-common libexo-helpers
  libfbclient2 libgpgme11 libgpgmepp6 libib-util libisofs6 liblightdm-gobject-1-0
  libopenal-data libopenal1 libopenal1:i386 libopenmpi3 libqmi-glib5 libqmi-proxy
  libruby2.5 libsoup-gnome2.4-1 libsoup2.4-1 libyajl2 lightdm openmpi-bin
  openmpi-common python3-gnucash ruby2.5 winetricks xsane xsane-common

I dist-upgrade at least 3 machines daily and have not seen this dbus issue nor one with dpkg. What is the actual command you issue to do the upgrade?
