When I try to update the computer, like with the automatic updates, every time after it's done I get an error message stating that a number of the updates were unable to actually update:
"Errors were encountered while processing:
What can I do to get those updates to actually update?
I updated my Xubuntu 10.04 yesterday and some packages had errors on install. I think I have tracked it down to python2.6 install. I ran apt-get install mousepad just to see the errors and this is part of what it returned:
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 6 not upgraded.
15 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 0B of additional disk space will be used.

Then, I checked where it said the missing files were and found several broken symlinks like this:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 2010-08-09 20:34 xapian.py -> ../../../share/pyshared/xapian.py
All of the broken symlinks need another ../ on the front. I was considering creating a script that will read the broken symlinks, add another ../ on the front of the target and then change the symlink target to that address.
I recently rebuilt my system and did a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04. Now, everything I try to install returns the following errors. I have tried installing the troubled packages but I get the same errors. Any thoughts?

I have a VPS running Debian Squeeze. Today I ssh'd in to do an apt-get update and an apt-get upgrade. Some of the packages seem to install fine, however linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 gives an error. I've tried rebooting (hoping that it would indeed come back up after a reboot and it did) but nothing has helped. Here's the output from apt:

I have Ubuntu 11.04 and whenever I install gnome3, I will get an error during the install. Following are the details.
"sudo apt-get dist-upgrade".

Get this kind of error while trying to update Natty.
I cannot get the update or software center to work now that I am running natty. When I try to update manager it says
"E:Encountered a section with no Package:

I assume that the software center has something to do with this too...
The update manager told me there were several packages to update, and I as usually said 'OK'. Then, it told me that some packages could not be installed. I ran dpkg in a terminal window, and this is what it looks like:

1 month ago we bought this computer. It has a GS7610 motherboard, AMd Athlon 3000+ with 2 gig ram, Seagate 500Gb HD and that's it.
I installed 9.10 64 bit, and all was flawless. Worked straight away, no troubles at all.
Then it was telling me the HS had bad sectors, so we took it back to the store today, and they said there was no problem. They also said that the vertical fuzzy lines were an OS problem, when we thought it was a monitor problem.
They also said that installing Windows would solve the problems.
Ok, so I went through the motions of trying to install a proper copy of Win7 pro I have here, and that went ok, albeit annoying
So, back to Ubuntu and did a full, clean re-install of 9.10 64 bit from the same CD I originally used that worked perfectly.
All installed, and I am hitting serious troubles.
There is a network connection, and I can ping anywhere with a small packet. Anything bigger, no go. I can bring up google, but no further. I can't bring up Ubuntu.com. I can't get updates, so even if they would correct the problem, it doesn't matter because I can't get them into the box.
It can download some updates, then finds one that it can't swallow and just locks up. I am also getting 'crash errors' that aren't a good thing.
It worked just fine, and now it's not.
I have searched and re-installed for the past 8 hours straight and still nothing.
I have this here box running 8.04 that just keeps ticking flawlessly, so it's not an update issue. I am here, so it's not a network or internet issue. Win7 got the internet just fine (sans sound).
I am almost willing to just accept Win7 without sound because at least it's something more than a non-updatable Ubuntu.
(And FWIW, you name anything that has been already said to fix the problem, I have already tried it at least twice already...)
Just re-installed for maybe the tenth time, and this time, for whatever reason, it is working just the way it was originally, and it even has the static on the screen going flat out, which I would really like to know how to solve...
Even got it dual booting with Win7 without effort.
I am very new to linux and I am running into an issue..I've gotten soem new HP blade servers and they cam installed with RHEL 5.3 I need to update them to RHEL 5.4 I register them with my rhn subscription, then once I see my systems online, i run yum update from the command line.
It seems to find a ton of updates and takes a long while to DL everything.Do I have to tell it to install the downloads? I don't think I do...I get some errors about timing out for the last few updates.theni reboot, but when i check redhat-release it still says 5.3
I just installed Fedora 9 for the first time and have been unable to run updates nor am I able to use the add/remove programs feature. With the system updates the error I receive is within the /urs/share/packages area. I posted this http://amahi.pastebin.com/m131ea1d2 I also receive a different error when I run the Add/Remove programs feature and I receive a similar error. I also tried running these commands from root while logged in as root -- yum clean meatadata
yum -y update but this had no change to the system. I also thought it may have been a RPMFusion issue so I looked at their FAQ and ran the command line to enable RPMFusion and it advises that this package is already installed. I am getting confused by this and not sure where to start so that I dont keep going over the same things with and getting the same results.

After click on install updates and entering password, a message says "Some of the packages could not be retrieved from the server(s). Do you want to continue, ignoring these packages? Yes/No.
If I answer No, this message appears:
W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/po....10.1_i386.deb
404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.31 80]
If Yes, it tries to download but immediately:
W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/po....10.1_i386.deb
404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.31 80]
It has always installed the updates with no problems, until these 3 updates remain in pending installation status.
New to Fedora (from Windows), I am up and running ok with packages from the repository but only half ok with Processing, the Java graphics programming front end from processing.org.Their download gave me a .tgz file which Package Manager extracted for me into a location of my choice and where there is now a "processing" shell script.This works ok and I have managed to create a launcher on the desktop. That starts ok but always with processing's default action of giving you a new and automatically named work file.In Windows an existing Processing file (.pde file) could be "opened-with" Processing. Trying to do similar in Fedora I find that I am expected to nominate an Application to open with but Processing has not installed as an application.I guess the question is how do I promote Processing to be an Application?Or is there a different approach?
