This same error occurred to me on hardy, from a network boot and upgrading in steps to get to a GUI.
Attached is an abridged apt term.log to the first occurrence of the error. (I cut out everything after the first error, nothing before) ** Attachment added: "term.log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15550326/term.log -- rhythmbox and dia-common upgrade crashes on gutsy beta upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147777 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
