Public bug reported:
I am not sure which package it applies to but dpkg does popup. I am
using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on an old Dell. The problem emerges when I try to
update software on notification that updates are available. The OS
updates usually fail and my screen freezes. I am not an expert in Ubuntu
but if I know what I should be looking for then I can usually access
that. My feedback so far says nothing about the package libappindicator1
being already installed but I have seen that name as part of the failure
message. I can't be certain that the problem is a bug. I have two old
second-hand computers that I bought for other purposes. I have been
installing and trying different flavours of Linux on them to see which
suits their limitations.
Recently I bought a new ASUS stand alone computer which came supplied
with Windows 7. I had upgraded them in a short space of time to Windows
10. In January the whole system crashed. It took me over a month to get
a response from Microsoft and when they did, I was connected to a
customer service unit in India. They had difficulty understanding me and
I had difficulty understanding them, but it was clear that they did not
believe that I was a legitimate owner of the Microsoft OS. Evenually
they gave in and I got it going. Two weeks later it crashed again but
this time I found it impossible to load any OS. Nothing was recognised.
I am 78 and have been working with computers since 1960. I have no
patience or time to waste on Bill Gates and his Ghoulish Grannies ("Are
you sure you're sure you want to do that?!") so I have dumped Microsoft
and am working totally with Linux. I am active online organising courses
and meetings for the Pachamama Alliance (www.pachamama.org), for DiEM25
Democracy in Europe Movement, for my own online activities
(www.wolflander.ie) [This site is currently under reconstruction) and
for my online blog on political and social issues in Ireland and Europe
[www.tonypratschke.com].
I added the second paragraph, not to impress you with what I do, but to
make clear that I am totally dependant on Linux for my activities now,
so it is important for me to solve this problem. I am trying to replace
the damaged ASUS under its warranty and if I get that running again, it
will be an Ubuntu machine also!
Best wishes,
Tony
