Unfortunately, this kind of error is more likely to be indicative of a impending hard drive failure, rather than actual issues with the package (especially since the file listed is not one shipped by the mobile- broadband-provider-info package).
Please verify your hard drive, for example using the Disk Utility application and verify for any errors. Since this does not appear to be a bug in Ubuntu, I'm closing this bug report as "Invalid". Thanks for helping to make Ubuntu better! Please don't hesitate to report bugs for any further issues you may find. ** Changed in: mobile-broadband-provider-info (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/995158 Title: package mobile-broadband-provider-info 20120410-0ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: read error in `/var/lib/dpkg/triggers /update-default-wordlist': Input/output error To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mobile-broadband-provider-info/+bug/995158/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
