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: perl (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to perl in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1346419 Title: package perl-base 5.14.2-6ubuntu2.4 failed to install/upgrade: short read on buffer copy for backend dpkg-deb during `./usr/share/perl/5.14.2/unicore/To/Na1.pl' Status in “perl” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: i am going to install programmes but they are not installing in pc ProblemType: Package DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: perl-base 5.14.2-6ubuntu2.4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.5.0-23.35~precise1-generic 3.5.7.2 Uname: Linux 3.5.0-23-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu17.6 Architecture: amd64 Date: Sun Jul 20 21:56:41 2014 DuplicateSignature: package:perl-base:5.14.2-6ubuntu2.4:short read on buffer copy for backend dpkg-deb during `./usr/share/perl/5.14.2/unicore/To/Na1.pl' ErrorMessage: short read on buffer copy for backend dpkg-deb during `./usr/share/perl/5.14.2/unicore/To/Na1.pl' InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20130213) MarkForUpload: True SourcePackage: perl Title: package perl-base 5.14.2-6ubuntu2.4 failed to install/upgrade: short read on buffer copy for backend dpkg-deb during `./usr/share/perl/5.14.2/unicore/To/Na1.pl' UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/perl/+bug/1346419/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
