Bug Description

I am not sure what information is pertinent to this bug. I received a notice that there is a bug when trying to update Ubuntu, which I do routinely.

I have seen warnings of malware---that there is one of those keystroke recording viruses. I didnt think I could get this on this computer,. I basically only use it at work at a University.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that there was an error on your system when trying to install a particular package. Please execute the following command, as it will clear your package cache, in a terminal:

sudo apt-get clean

Then try performing the update again. This will likely resolve your issue, but the failure can be caused by filesystem or memory corruption. So please also run a fsck on your filesystem(s) and a memory test. If this does resolve your bug please set its status to Invalid. Thanks in advance!

Thanks. Actually, the hard drive was indeed corrupted and beyond saving. I
think that was an early indication.
