[Bug 603897] [NEW] package libpam-runtime 1.1.1-2ubuntu5 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script killed by signal (Aborted)
Public bug reported: A recent report ( in italian ?) mentions a problem with pamon Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx - Release i386 (20100429), but not that the install was ABORTED, and my system is the initial Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx - Release amd64 (20100429). [ I upgraded my motherboard to get more RAM (4 GB+) and more powerful CPU (2x Intel core duo) but I have to wonder if the applications (e.g., web browsers) are working well with the improvements. I have 4 GB RAM installed but only 3.5 show as available, and when I add additional 2GB units of RAM, the system does not boot up. {BAH!} ] I think I have seen this, or similar, bugs but the system seems unstable with apps such as browsers often freezing until I restart them, or abruptly quitting as I try to open a new link, or open message in one of my several gmail accounts.Sometimes the browser that shuts down is the one with the needed info for the bug report, which of course makes it difficult to REPORT the details of the problem which the system itself reported being encountered. I am sorry that this report is not more complete and helpful.

[Bug 311718] [NEW] Upgrades fail to install due to files list file for package `xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support' is missing final newline
Public bug reported: Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop, upgraded from 7.10 I am reporting this as a bug with update-manager, but that is just where the error is reported -- the problem seems to be with a file list. When attempting to update/upgrade packages, using update-manager ( also with synaptic package manager ) the upgrade procress will fail, and always with the following message: E: /var/cache/apt/archives/perl-modules_5.8.8-12ubuntu0.3_all.deb: files list file for package `xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support' is missing final newline I currently have at least 23 upgrades waiting to be installed, daily attempts over the past week continue to show the same error msg.

Re: [Bug 228083] Re: Update Manager: Could not initialize the package information
NOT still a problem, the fixes posted on forum and in the error message resolved the temporary problem, as I posted in a follow-up. Sorry Chris, my bad, I meant to go back and update that one as resolved/fixed/ etc.. Now I will remember that if _I_ don't do it ... in a timely manner ... someone else will have to clean-up after me ! MANY Thanks for going thru and checking !!
