My update-notifier icon in the system tray is now showing an error. I have tried everything I could find. Strangely I can use synaptic, apt- get, and even aptitude perfectly but the update icon continues to show an error.
'E:Could not open file /var/lib/synaptic/preferences - open (13: Permission denied)' I think it is related to the failed upgrade of alsa-utils and though it has upgraded properly now I seem to have this residual error. -- package alsa-utils 1.0.23-2ubuntu3.3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/664645 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
