Input/output error? Normally you only see that when a system call returns EIO, which usually only happens when your hard drive has an actual error. (i.e. hard drive failure, not just file that doesn't exist.)
I think it's unlikely that dpkg would print "Input/output error" when it didn't see an EIO from a system call. So this means it's your computer that's broken, not the package. closing this. Reopen this bug if that wasn't the case, and your hard drive didn't explode soon after you reported this. ** Changed in: bash-completion (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/987648 Title: package bash-completion 1:1.3-1ubuntu6 failed to install/upgrade: unable to stat `./etc/bash_completion.d/pkg-config' (which I was about to install): Input/output error To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash-completion/+bug/987648/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
