I see, sorry for this red herring -- it seems you run into the same problem as before when using apport to gather the information.
It seems the issue is about the so called cache not being big enough to hold all the package information. Possibly you have a lot of package sources activated (you can change this in the Software Center --> go to Software Sources and uncheck unneeded sources)? Either way, you can try to increase the cache size manually. To do this, after having closed any open update-manager or similar, open a terminal as described above and then type: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/apt.conf This should (after possibly asking for your password) open a text editor. In this text editor, paste the following line: APT::Cache-Limit 100000000; (This increases the cache from the current value of ~25MB to ~100MB -- you can also use even higher values but it should be considerable smaller than the total amount of memory you have, otherwise it slows down your system a lot). Save the file and exit the editor. Then try updating the package information again, either by clicking the "check" button in the update-manager, or by typing the following in the terminal: sudo apt-get update This might solve your issue. In case it does *not*, please follow the (admittedly quite long...) instructions at the following Ubuntu help page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure Follow steps 1 to 5 but instead of opening a new question (as instructed in step 6), paste all the output from the terminal window here into the bug report.
