Seem to have been able to change the line 21614 in the file /var/lib/dpkg/status "libgstrmam**.10-0" to libgstreamer0.10-0 using komodo text editor and save it as such being careful to allow it to update as it is an open file in the package system. Now I no longer have the broken package "brasero" however I have a new error which I will probably move to a new bug report-
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/gnome-control- center_1%3a3.3.91-0ubuntu4_amd64.deb: subprocess dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile returned error exit status 2 I appear to have fixed this bug and this new bug seems to be completely unrelated. We really need to have some sort of system that prevents these massive interdependencies from having one single character threaten the entire system-- it is not a self healing and functional way to go- it makes Linux very difficult to justify using in high activity corporate environments. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to brasero in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/957508 Title: Brasero v 3.3.91 suddenly reports as being a broken package in Ubuntu 12.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/brasero/+bug/957508/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
