I had already tried what you suggest, albeit with apt-get rather than aptitude. Unofrtunately the same thing still keeps happening. I even tried deleting teh contents of /var/cache/apt, to no avail.
I had also already done the 'dpkg --configure -a', but that prints out nothing when run. :-( As for anything unusual happening, no, I do not remember. I just clicked on the update icon when it appeared, then on install updates, typed my password inin to gksu, and let things go from there.. -- 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 ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
