Yolanda, Thanks for the reply and suggestion. I ran the suggested commands in the link subsequently:
<begin> sudo apt-get clean sudo apt-get update <end> then <begin> sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf sudo apt-get update <end> The sudo apt-get update ran without error. Last 2 lines from terminal window below: <begin> Fetched 4,240 B in 1s (2,174 B/s) Reading package lists... Done <end> I then ran; sudo apt-get install -f. It returned the following [error] message(s): <begin> Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Correcting dependencies...

Twonky was working for several weeks prior to the update errors. The music files I am attempting to stream are located on the 2nd internal hard drive. I also attempted to change the way my 2nd internal hard drive is mounted. >From mounting when a user clicked on it (me) in Home folder to mounting at system boot (all users, all the time available). I still have not got that figured out. The update problem seemed started occurring after I tried changing the hard drive mount. I backed out of everything I did here. I'm thinking I need to re-install Ubuntu 12.04. Unfortunately I'm better at Windows than Linux, this seems way over my head to debug. Any additional ideas? Thanks. //mark breithart On Thu, Oct 10, 2013 at 3:24 AM, Yolanda Robla <yolanda.ro...@canonical.com>wrote: > Thanks for reporting this > Please can you take a look at this thread > > http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2150659&p=12673626#post12673626 > > To check if that helps? > > Best > Yolanda > > ** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu) > Status: New => Invalid > > -- > You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug > report. > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1233625 > > Title: > update package started failing (w/ samba?) > > To manage notifications about this bug go to: > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1233625/+subscriptions > -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1233625 Title: update package started failing (w/ samba?)
