Such dpkg bug can be easy solved - open the file /var/lib/dpkg/updates/0214 and remove all lines with contents '#padding' (or simply remove file /var/lib/dpkg/updates/0214 ) This bug appears because you don't have enough free disk space in / or /var partition, AFAIK you should have at least 100 MB free disk space in / (and in /var, if you have separate /var) partition before runing 'dpkg --configure -a' . Simply run command 'df -h' in terminal and you will see how much free space you have in each partition :) If you have not enough free space you can remove old .deb files from /var/cache/apt/archives/ folder -- Upgrading with no disk space breaks dpkg irrecoverably https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/215305 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
