I guess I figured that it was due to some problem with my file system (or hard drive). But to fix your problem, go to directory /var/lib/dpkg/info/ and see if there is a directory by name language-pack-es-base. Delete the directory by name language-pack-es-base and reinstall the package.
This fixed my problem. Hope this helps you too. -Sushant -- Can not install any package in Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239848 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
