** Description changed: I'm a brand new Ubuntu user, forgive me- I think this is in normal Nautilus, but I'm not sure. Every time I try to get updates, for multimedia codecs, and basic system updates, I get the above message: "E: base-files: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 123" and sometimes something with dictionaries comes up too. I have no idea what is going on, and I'm getting fed up, since I have no idea how to fix this, or any problems in linux! This is found on a FRESH INSTALL of Ubuntu 8.0.4 Hardy Heron.
