*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 541595 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541595
I've had this problem today, I was applying a patch to postfix, based on the following: https://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-users-and-domains-with-postfix-courier-mysql-and-squirrelmail-ubuntu-14.04-lts#-apply-the-quota-patch-to-postfix After that, dpkg complained about "cannot access archive: No such file or directory". The deb archive was postfix_2.11.0-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb. I've run the dpkg through strace, and I found the following: stat("postfix_2.11.0-1_amd64.deb", 0x7ffcaa79c310) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) So, I've renamed the file postfix_2.11.0-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb to postfix_2.11.0-1_amd64.deb, and it successfully installed. I have no idea what is causing this, but this was a "solution". The strangest thing is that now even the first archive is installing correctly. (dpkg -i postfix_2.11.0-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apport in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/523395 Title: Error "package $FOO failed to install/upgrade: cannot access archive: No such file or directory" Status in apport package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in python2.6 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: python2.6 IIRC apt-cacher-ng failed to download archives properly and then trying to install them (via aptitude safe-upgrade) caused this failure.
