Synaptic and update-manager both use apt-get on the backend, so it's expected that all three give you the same behavior.
It looks like you have one or more packages in the dpkg cache that are corrupted, perhaps by an interrupted Internet connection during a download. I suggest cleaning out the cache, updating the available packages, and then reinstalling, which will have the effect of downloading a new package and attempting to install it. Try this: ~> aptitude clean ~> aptitude update ~> aptitude reinstall amarok-engines If that doesn't fix the issue, then do this: ~> dpkg --configure -a Then report back the results of the foregoing. A bigger issue is why this happened in the first place. Do you know of anything unusual that happened when the packages were originally downloaded? -- Cannot do updates with synaptic, updatemanager or apt-get https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/159163 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
