Public bug reported: Binary package hint: tzdata
Just ran upgrade today on Maverick and getting this result, ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/tzdata_2011g-0ubuntu0.10.10_all.deb (--unpack): unable to create `/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Manaus.dpkg-new' (while processing `./usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Manaus'): Invalid argument dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/tzdata_2011g-0ubuntu0.10.10_all.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) Has thrown my system into a total mess now as when I try to fix this with "apt-get -f install" apt-get wants to remove hundreds of packages requiring a type in confirmation. I'm trying to "hold" tzdata at tzdata- 2011e but cannot do that and cannot upgrade anything else because of this failure. What's causing this and how to fix. I had a fully working system this morning until i tried to upgrade today. ** Affects: tzdata (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/773850 Title: tzdata fails to upgrade -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
