Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that there was an error on your system when trying to install a particular package. Please execute the following command, as it will clear your package cache, in a terminal:
sudo apt-get clean Then try performing the update again. This will likely resolve your issue, but the failure could be caused by filesystem or memory corruption. So please also run a fsck on your filesystem(s) and a memory test. Thanks in advance! [This is an automated message. I apologize if it reached you inappropriately; please just reply to this message indicating so.] ** Tags added: corrupted-package ** Changed in: cups (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1091132 Title: package cups 1.4.3-1ubuntu1.9 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: corrupted filesystem tarfile - corrupted package archive Status in “cups” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Error during upgrade ProblemType: Package DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: cups 1.4.3-1ubuntu1.9 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-34.53-generic 3.2.33 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-34-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu15 Architecture: i386 CurrentDmesg: [ 46.950461] init: plymouth-stop pre-start process (1217) terminated with status 1 Date: Sun Dec 16 19:28:29 2012 ErrorMessage: ErrorMessage: corrupted filesystem tarfile - corrupted package archive InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS "Lucid Lynx" - Release i386 (20110211.1) Lpstat: Error: command ['lpstat', '-v'] failed with exit code 1: lpstat: Connection refused MachineType: Dell Computer Corporation Dell DE051 MarkForUpload: True Papersize: a4 ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-34-generic root=UUID=78f40fa6-c47e-479d-8196-f368d9c82152 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 SourcePackage: cups Title: package cups 1.4.3-1ubuntu1.9 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: corrupted filesystem tarfile - corrupted package archive UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to precise on 2012-12-17 (0 days ago) dmi.bios.date: 08/15/2005 dmi.bios.vendor: Dell Computer Corporation dmi.bios.version: A00 dmi.board.name: 0CF458 dmi.board.vendor: Dell Computer Corp. dmi.chassis.type: 6 dmi.chassis.vendor: Dell Computer Corporation dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnDellComputerCorporation:bvrA00:bd08/15/2005:svnDellComputerCorporation:pnDellDE051:pvr:rvnDellComputerCorp.:rn0CF458:rvr:cvnDellComputerCorporation:ct6:cvr: dmi.product.name: Dell DE051 dmi.sys.vendor: Dell Computer Corporation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1091132/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
