I also am getting the same error message but mine is coming when I try to install my updates. So at this time I'm not able to install any updates at all. I am pretty much a newbie so my terminal skills are limited. I did try to make the directory using the terminal under "su" but was unsuccessful. Now I'm lost as to what to do.
Any help here would also be appreciated.
