It's been a while, but I just attempted a massive upgrade (executing "aptitude upgrade") and ended up with:
Errors were encountered while processing:
The interesting thing is why these packages failed, which would be in
the output preceding the list of failed packages.
Unpacking replacement desktop-base ...
gconftool-2: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2: undefined symbol: gzopen64
dpkg: warning - old post-removal script returned error exit status 127
dpkg - trying script from the new package instead ...
gconftool-2: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2: undefined symbol: gzopen64
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/desktop-base_4.0.4_all.deb (--unpack):
It's pretty clear from that that your problem is that your version of
libxml2 is failing to load because it doesn't contain gzopen64.
It would be interesting to know what ldd /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 says.
Some hits on Google suggest that people get this problem when they have
another version of libz hanging out in $LD_LIBRARY_PATH (e.g., in
/usr/local/lib or /lib).
The above is in response to apt-get -f install (what used to work in the past for fixing issues, maybe that's my mistake?)
That ought to work fine.
If I try to upgrade one of those packages individually with aptitude install shared-mime-info then the below happens:
The following packages will be upgraded:
gnome-session libgnome2-common libgnomevfs2-common shared-mime-info
4 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 795 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B/2706kB of archives. After unpacking 1461kB will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?] y
Writing extended state information... Error!
E: I wasn't able to locate file for the desktop-base package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package.
E: Couldn't lock list directory..are you root?
Erk. That means something is hosed in your apt cache. I would guess
this isn't related to your earlier problems, but it would be interesting
to know whether running "aptitude update" fixes this problem, and to see
the output of "apt-cache showpkg desktop-base".
