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: 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/1806166 Title: package gettext 0.19.8.1-8 failed to install/upgrade: dpkg-deb --control subprocess returned error exit status 2 Status in gettext package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: First auto update of the OS since installation an hour earlier.
