      So I got myself up to Ubuntu 14.10 with minimal frustration. apt-get upgrade wasn't seeing a new version, so I used update-manager with the do-release-upgrade -d command. However, there are still packages that aren't updated. I get this:
      -Output-

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

      Not sure where to go from here but haven't looked into it too much via Google, etc yet.

      Thanks,
      A.J.

        Also, running apt-get autoremove, just to clean-up, takes care of some things but then kicks out the same kind of error, starting with "postconf: warning: /etc/postfix/main.cf, line 36: overriding earlier entry: myorigin=$mydomain". There are still packages that need to be purged but apt or something related to it is having issues.

          Did you do a full...

          apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

          Before doing the version update?

            Yup. Several times in fact.

                        What has been done to the machine outside of letting the package manager handle everything?

                          I just put Pertino on today, or tried to again. Working with them on it now because it's installed and running but the pertino0 interface doesn't exist...

                            It's not working for me on Fedora either.

                              Ok, so dpkg seems to be the issue, specifically when it tries to run a dpkg --configure on some packages. I am trying updating again but via aptitude now. I don't know if it will make any difference, but here is the link I found:
                              http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/ubuntu-'dpkg-configure-a'-e-dpkg-was-interrupted-error-695895/

                              "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" is the command I'm running, which appears to do the same as apt-get upgrade. We'll see if it works. I'll keep you posted, but I am basically unable to install, update or remove any packages at this point via apt-get.

                                  Try removing Pertino before updating.

                                    I can't remove anything. I tried doing an

                                     apt-get purge initscripts upstart-bin upstart friendly-recovery

                                    I figured if things were hosed on those items, I'd rip and reinstall. As the text started flying, I noticed it removing things like mysql-server and the like. All I could think was "oh shit!" because now my Wordpress is hosed, and I can't take a backup of my MySQL databases because running

                                     mysql -u root -p

                                    generates an error and so I am stuck in limbo with my MySQL. I checked my backups on my UEB and I have good backups so I'm restoring from the 19th and hopefully that'll roll back all these changes and I can get a fresh slate.

                                      Used my Unitrends UEB to do a restore from last Thursday, the day before all this madness started, and rebooted. Running an

                                      apt-get upgrade

                                      now and it's going through. Going to run

                                      apt-get dist-upgrade

                                      now and that should upgrade me to 14.10.

                                        So package management is working again.

                                        Following the CLI tutorial found here:
                                        http://www.noobslab.com/2014/10/how-to-upgrade-from-any-ubuntu-version.html

                                        It's going through the upgrade now.

                                            Yup, because the issue just happened again. Something about updating to 14.10 breaks it...

                                            Just got that...
