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: short-read ** Changed in: chromium-browser (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1093245 Title: package chromium-browser 20.0.1132.47~r144678-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: short read on buffer copy for backend dpkg-deb during `./usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser' Status in “chromium-browser” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Messages incessant d'incident ProblemType: Package DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: chromium-browser 20.0.1132.47~r144678-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-35.55-generic 3.2.34 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-35-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu15.1 Architecture: amd64 ChromiumPrefs: can't open profile /root/.config/chromium/Default/Preferences Date: Sat Dec 22 23:59:38 2012 Desktop-Session: DESKTOP_SESSION = None XDG_CONFIG_DIRS = None XDG_DATA_DIRS = None Env: MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH = None LD_LIBRARY_PATH = None ErrorMessage: short read on buffer copy for backend dpkg-deb during `./usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser' InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120425) MarkForUpload: True SourcePackage: chromium-browser Title: package chromium-browser 20.0.1132.47~r144678-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: short read on buffer copy for backend dpkg-deb during `./usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser' UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) chromium-default: CHROMIUM_FLAGS="" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1093245/+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
