My ubuntu installation does not live on NTFS and I'm still having this issue:
Preparing to replace gnome-user-guide 3.0.0+git20110406ubuntu10 (using .../gnome-user-guide_3.0.0+git20110406ubuntu11_all.deb) ... Unpacking replacement gnome-user-guide ... dpkg: ../../src/archives.c:968: tarobject: Assertion `r == stab.st_size' failed. E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg exited unexpectedly I cleaned out all apt cache, tried uninstalling it, upgrading it, forcing it purging it with apt-get but that all failed. In the end I had to uninstall it manually using dpkg: sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq gnome-user-guide Hard to say what the problem was, this was a pretty fresh install. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/573696 Title: dpkg: ../../src/archives.c:763: tarobject: Assertion `r == stab.st_size' failed.
