What kernel (version & package) do you use? What is the version of libc6 on your system? What is the version of dpkg?
The error messages is strange, it indicates that a simple open() call failed with EINVAL which is documented this way: EINVAL The implementation does not support synchronized I/O for this file. EINVAL The value of the oflag argument is not valid. And the flags for the open call are simple: fd = open(fnamenewvb.buf, (O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_WRONLY), 0); The problem is probably not at the dpkg level, it must be lower in the stack, libc6 or kernel. Maybe a security module is behaving badly? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/773850 Title: tzdata fails to upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tzdata/+bug/773850/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
