Upgrade to UCS 4.1-2 Failed

I have tried to upgrade to UCS 4.1-2 on two of three servers I have and the upgrade fails on both. Here is the error listed in the upgrade.log:

Reading package lists... Building dependency tree... Reading state information... The following packages have unmet dependencies: udev : Breaks: plymouth (< 0.9.0-7) but 0.8.5.1-5.17.201512031309 is to be installed E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages. Error: Failed to execute "apt-get -o DPkg::Options::=--force-confold -o DPkg::Options::=--force-overwrite -o DPkg::Options::=--force-overwrite-dir --trivial-only=no --assume-yes --quiet=1 -u dist-upgrade

Anyone have any ideas?

Here is some additional information on where the upgrade from 4.1-1 to 4.1-2 breaks:

Hi,

beside some obvious things to prove (package status with “dpkg -C”) and checking that the quoted error is the first I would check that the sources.list.d files are up-to-date at the time of the error.

Ahrnke - Thank you for the reply.

dpkg -C - did not report any broken packages.

sources.list.d files don’t appear to be up to date as they don’t reference https://updates.software-univention.de/4.1/maintained/ 4.1-2/amd64/ Packages as your system.

Going to the package section of UCS shows several packages have upgrades, but if I try to update any package it fails with errors stating all the dependent packages need to be updated, removed, or reinstalled?

Is there an easy way to correct the system without effecting the UCS functions? Computer systems are not my occupation, so I don’t work with this on a daily bases. I switched from Fedora to UCS to explore or hope to find a solution where I didn’t have to tweak configurations each time upgrades was necessary.

Your help is welcomed and appreciated.

I’d remove the Jessie-repository and try again.
UCS 4.1 is based on Wheezy. Beside that in most cases there is no reason to use the Upstream-Repositories.

Ahrnke,

I noticed the same thing right after I posted the last reply! I removed the Repository and re-started the update. It seams to be working. The Jessie-repository was added to install a package for Zarafa Webapp Plugin that I no longer use. I forgot to clean this up.

Thank you for the help!!!

The system upgraded without issue once the Jessie-Repository was removed! I didn’t notice UCS was based on Wheezy vs. Jessie, I am glad I did not start trying to fix things via the command line myself. That would have been a real mess!
