Thanks for reporting this, from the logs it appears that you hit Ctrl+C while gnome-applets-data was being installed so I'm reassigning it to that package.
You could attempt to install only the troublesome package: sudo apt-get install gnome-applets-data To check this package is actually stalling but I suspect it simply needed more time. ** Package changed: ubuntu-docs (Ubuntu) => gnome-applets (Ubuntu) -- apt-get upgrade crashes repeatedly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/397670 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
