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 could be caused by filesystem or memory corruption. So please also run a fsck on your filesystem(s) and a memory test. Thanks in advance! ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1003731 Title: package linux-image-3.2.0-24-generic 3.2.0-24.38 failed to install/upgrade: short read on buffer copy for backend dpkg-deb during `./boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-24-generic' Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: This is the second failed Linux-image install I've had to deal with.
