Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that there was an error on your system when trying to install a particular package. Please execute the following command, as it will clear your package cache, in a terminal:
sudo apt-get clean Then try performing the update again. This will likely resolve your issue, but the failure can be caused by filesystem or memory corruption. So please also run a fsck on your filesystem(s) and a memory test. If this does not resolve your bug please set its status back to New. Thanks in advance! ** Changed in: thunderbird (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: thunderbird (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Tags added: corrupted-package -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/788087 Title: package thunderbird-gnome-support (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess dpkg-deb --control returned error exit status 2 Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: thunderbird the computer and the Os (Ubuntu) are new builds new build but older socket 478/p4 2.6 I was getting and installing updates when it crashed. not to mention it wanted me to get them in partial downloads which I was doing.I have been getting a lot of system package failure reports.
