Package management fails in update-manager with gzip problems and compilation errors. U12.04LTS
- by HarveyP
Similar to but not the same as Package management system corrupted. Cannot install or remove packages. U12.04LTS (an earlier problem) with package management system. Followed all of L. D. James suggestions in his answer to no avail.
This time as well as the gzip error I am also getting compilation errors. The difference may be due to a lack of compilation in my earlier problem so it may be the same error.
The packages concerned are enumerated in the output from update-manager below.
Also included below that is the output from apt-get -f install
apt-get autoremove gives same output.
Tried update without SSL updates - 9 to install and got "Unhandled Error in aptdaemon". Output number 3 below.
One at a time - output 4 - is for firefox, first in the list of packages. Falls over at libssl1.0.0 despite deselection of it from update ...
Tried apt-get install --reinstall dpkg which succeeded, apt-get install --reinstall tar and apt-get install --reinstall gzip both of which failed at libssl1.0.0 as ever. (as suggested by Subv3rsion elsewhere in this forum)
Now cannot apt-get update with complete success even after changing server and apt-get clean - output number 5 below ...
1). Output from update-manager
The following packages will be upgraded:<>
firefox firefox-globalmenu firefox-locale-en libavcodec-extra-53 libavformat53 libavutil-extra-51 libjson0 libpostproc52
libssl1.0.0 libswscale2 openssl
11 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 0 not to upgrade.<br>
Need to get 0 B/46.5 MB of archives.
After this operation, 1,416 kB of additional disk space will be used.<br>
