Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System ->
About Ubuntu.
ubu...@ubuntu:~$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 9.04
Release: 9.04
ubu...@ubuntu:~$
2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy packagename'
or by checking in Synaptic.
When using Synaptic Package Manager, to try to see the version of
'update-manager', I get the following error:
E: Read error - read (5 Input/output error)
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
3) What you expected to happen
I already installed xubuntu 9.04 from CD successfully and had been using it for
a while (getting Updates for various packages etc.). Then the kids got to it.
Somehow 'Applications' had been removed from the menus bar at the top and I
couldn't access programs. I decided to reinstall (complete fresh install from
CD). After running full install, and connecting to the internet, I then ran the
Update Manager. Crashed. I expected for the update-manager to be able to update
my newly installed system.
4) What happened instead
'E:Read error - read (5 Input/output error), E:The package lists or status file
could not be parsed or opened.'
