I received this error after creating a new instance of a ubuntu (Lucid) amd64 image for amazon web services. The server was a base install and I wanted to set it up as a LAMP server. I initially ran:
sudo tasksel I selected the LAMP option and then OK. The process started running for about 1 to 2 seconds and then the tasksel application closed with this error: aptitude failed (100) sudo apt-get update fixed the problem.
