      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...

          From what I can tell (I really dislike apt-get) these are the bits that really matter:

          update-rc.d: error: insserv rejected the script header

          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.

              This is what I'm getting, as the packages with issues.

              dpkg: error processing package friendly-recovery (--configure):
              dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
              Errors were encountered while processing:
               pertino-client
               initscripts
               upstart-bin
               upstart
               friendly-recovery

                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...

                            Going to restore back to Thursday again. I can't seem to update to 14.10 without stuff breaking...

                              Ubuntu is not the most stable of platforms, sadly. I would only recommend it when you have a very specific need and never "just because."

                                Did you remember to do....

                                apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && reboot

                                Before trying the distro update?

                                  Apt-get upgrade didn't find the update, and I have run apt-get update. It's not seeing it for some reason...
