I was running ubuntu 11.10 without major flaws and somewhat adapted to my taste and decided to give upgrading another shot. Somehow I do so every couple of years and every time I face reinstall. This time, I'm not giving up just yet.
I got to 12.04 after just half a day of fiddling with it, everything worked except wifi and the css being messed up but I wanted to go on to 12.10. I managed to start the upgrade with little frustration and as it was about 10% through the install step, I accidentally pressed the up key on one of my terminal sessions and boom apt-get clean. During upgrade. Of course it died, threw error after error, would not let me cancel would not finish configuring at least what had been installed already. So I killed it. I was able to reboot and uninstall reinstall configure some things but after a reboot I couldn't even get into recovery mode. So I'm in live mode using chroot and these are my outputs. I don't seem to have the internet connection available through chroot but from the output you can see that there's nothing in the sources.

does anybody know any way of removing those unmet dependencies, reinstalling them, configuring them, upgrading my os so that I can use it again? Thanks!
I got a step further! just now had dpkg install many packages over. After this, the configure which failed but after that -f install which magically even tried to remove and reinstall some things! This is an epic success, I'll try to download what's needed in my live system and feed it to it through dpkg
I'll keep you posted.
