Important update: Sorry; I have forgotten one very important detail...
The temporary "fix" I have reported in my previous post only works if one runs "apt-get update" under the "C" locale. So the correct command lines are: sudo rm -vf /var/cache/apt/*.bin LANG=C LC_ALL=C sudo apt-get update -- e2fsprogs initscripts volumeid Update Issue https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/80248 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
