Subject: [Bug 574211] Re: package groff-base 1.20.1-5 failed
toinstall/upgrade:
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.
The relevant error is
---
dpkg-deb: `/var/cache/apt/archives/gnome-doc-utils_0.20.0-0ubuntu2_all.deb'
is not a debian format archive
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/gnome-doc-utils_0.20
0-0ubuntu2_all.deb (--unpack):
subprocess dpkg-deb --control returned error exit status 2
this error is caused by a corrupted archive. Please execute the
following commands, as it will clear your package cache, in a terminal (
Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal ) :
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
Then try performing the update again. This will likely resolve your
issue. If so please set the bug's status to Invalid. Thanks in advance!
