** Summary changed: - VirtualBox installation fails + If the installation of a package fails aptdaemon will raise an unkown error
** Description changed: - I tried to install VirtualBox version 3.2.10-66523~Ubuntu~maverick (virtualbox-3.2) for Ubuntu 10.10 (32 bit version) and i got the following error message: - There seems to be a programming error in aptdaemon, the software that allows you to install/remove software and to perform other package management related tasks. Please report this error at http://launchpad.net/aptdaemon/+filebug and retry. + If a local package file gets installed and the installation fails + aptdaemon will show an unknown error. The installation of a local + package can fail because e.g. it is of bad quality or the wrong + architecture (32bit vs 64bit). - I run 32 bit Ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition inside of VMWare Player. i got the installer for Virtual Box at: - http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads - and chose Ubuntu 10.10 ("Maverick Meerkat") I386. my computer is a Emachines model T5247a and i have an Intel Pentium 4 dual-core E2180 2.00 GHz processor. the host operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium service pack 2 32 bit. this is my first time with Linux and I don't know what else to say but the very first thing i did was download virtual box with Firefox and install it so I don't think I did anything to screw stuff up. i got a new version from the software center that seems to work fine. + You can try to install the corresponding package from the command line: + sudo dpkg -i PACKAGE_FILE + + This error has been fixed in aptdaemon. Nowadays the correct error + (package manager failed) gets shown. + + If you still have problems installing packages contact the provider of + the packages or the forums. ** Changed in: aptdaemon Status: Incomplete => Fix Released ** Changed in: aptdaemon (Ubuntu Natty) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/665722 Title: If the installation of a package fails aptdaemon will raise an unkown error -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
