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! [This is an automated message. I apologize if it reached you inappropriately; please just reply to this message indicating so.] ** Tags added: fsys-tarfile-error ** Changed in: gettext (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gettext in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1808636 Title: package gettext-base 0.19.8.1-6 failed to install/upgrade: dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile subprocess returned error exit status 2 Status in gettext package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: package gettext-base 0.19.8.1-6 failed to install/upgrade: dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile subprocess returned error exit status 2 ProblemType: Package DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: gettext-base 0.19.8.1-6 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-29.31-generic 4.15.18 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-29-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: kpatch_livepatch_Ubuntu_4_15_0_29_31_generic_42 ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.2 Architecture: amd64 Date: Sat Dec 15 23:22:12 2018 Dependencies: gcc-8-base 8.2.0-1ubuntu2~18.04 libc6 2.27-3ubuntu1 libgcc1 1:8.2.0-1ubuntu2~18.04 ErrorMessage: dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile subprocess returned error exit status 2 InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-12-15 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20180725) Python3Details: /usr/bin/python3.6, Python 3.6.7, python3-minimal, 3.6.5-3ubuntu1 PythonDetails: N/A RelatedPackageVersions: dpkg 1.19.0.5ubuntu2.1 apt 1.6.6 SourcePackage: gettext Title: package gettext-base 0.19.8.1-6 failed to install/upgrade: dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile subprocess returned error exit status 2 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gettext/+bug/1808636/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
