Unfortunately the attached logfile does not contain any useful information, but this error is usually caused when disk-space is exhausted during installing/updating packages.
Can you please check if there is enough disk-space available and if not clean out some things and try again. Does it work then? See also Bug 312491 for a discussion about improving the error messages when this happens. ** Changed in: dpkg (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- package python-apport 1.0-0ubuntu5 failed to install/upgrade: failed in buffer_write(fd) (10, ret=-1): backend dpkg-deb during `./usr/share/pyshared/apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py' https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/485534 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
