Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that there was an error on your system when trying to install a particular package. Please execute the following command, as it will clear your package cache, in a terminal:
sudo apt-get clean Then try performing the update again. This will likely resolve your issue, but the failure could be caused by filesystem or memory corruption. So please also run a fsck on your filesystem(s) and a memory test. Thanks in advance! [This is an automated message. I apologize if it reached you inappropriately; please just reply to this message indicating so.] ** Tags added: failed-to-read ** Changed in: chromium-browser (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1222210 Title: package chromium-browser 28.0.1500.52-0ubuntu1.12.04.2 failed to install/upgrade: short read on buffer copy for backend dpkg-deb during `./usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser' Status in “chromium-browser” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: at startup of computer the error reporting tool is fired on it own ProblemType: Package DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: chromium-browser 28.0.1500.52-0ubuntu1.12.04.2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-49.75-generic 3.2.46 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-49-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu17.3 Architecture: amd64 ChromiumPrefs: can't open profile /root/.config/chromium/Default/Preferences Date: Fri Sep 6 09:20:27 2013 Desktop-Session: DESKTOP_SESSION = None XDG_CONFIG_DIRS = None XDG_DATA_DIRS = None DuplicateSignature: package:chromium-browser:28.0.1500.52-0ubuntu1.12.04.2:short read on buffer copy for backend dpkg-deb during `./usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser' Env: MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH = None LD_LIBRARY_PATH = None ErrorMessage: short read on buffer copy for backend dpkg-deb during `./usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser' InstallationMedia: MarkForUpload: True SourcePackage: chromium-browser Title: package chromium-browser 28.0.1500.52-0ubuntu1.12.04.2 failed to install/upgrade: short read on buffer copy for backend dpkg-deb during `./usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser' UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) chromium-default: CHROMIUM_FLAGS="" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1222210/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
