Probably a bug. I am using Ubuntu 18.04, and got the same error when runing "sudo apt dist-upgrade". A friend met the same error for months, also Ubuntu 18.04. Three times, with the same error
cannot copy extracted data for './etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic' to '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic .dpkg-new': failed to write (Bad file descriptor) It is odd. The problem is that APT is broken, and cannot be fixed by "sudo apt install -f". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1982051 Title: Unable to install update-notifier-common To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-notifier/+bug/1982051/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
