Public bug reported:
Description: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
Release: 12.04
apt-xapian-index:
Installed: 0.44ubuntu5
Candidate: 0.44ubuntu5
Version table:
*** 0.44ubuntu5 0
500 http://za.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main i386 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
...
This error occurs whenever I check for software updates (through the
Update Manager), but I think the command line output is more useful
(below). It appears to be caused by the description of a non-Ubuntu
package "diffmerge", which is not installed (the description is included
in the traceback below). The package comes from the stable SourceGear
deb repository "deb http://debian.sourcegear.com/ubuntu precise main"
(see http://www.veracity-scm.com/help/ubuntu_install.html for details).
Is there a formatting issue in the package description? If not, update-
apt-xapian-index should not be failing.
Please let me know if I can provide any further details.
