I am getting this error on the Kubuntu Jaunty beta, with packagekit installed. I've noticed that it occurs only when downloading the package information from the various repositories takes a long time. While downloading that information the update manager usually comes up with a notification that updates are available. I can't reproduce the error in any easy way, but it has happened about 3 or 4 times since freshly installing kubuntu jaunty beta on Sunday. I use synaptic because it gives me more options and more information about packages than kpackagekit. I also have a laptop running intrepid with the experimental kde4 packages from the kubuntu experimental ppa (so it's also running kde 4.2.1). This laptop does not have packagekit installed and I have not seen this error on it yet.
Perhaps I'll try disabling the automatic update function and see if that makes a difference, or otherwise uninstall kpackagekit to see if that makes a difference. -- The package cache file is corrupted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/304792 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
