When prompted to apply ubuntu updates i received the following error: 'E; /var/cache/apt/archives/lsb-base_4.0-0ubuntu0.8.04.1_all.deb: failed in buffer_read(fd)"

I've tried adding the ppa to the source.lists but it still doesn't work does anyone have a suggestion?

thx,

Pete

Seems that package lsb-base is corrupted in some way.
Searched in some forums, may be this can help:

Code: Select all

cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/lsb-base.list

You should get a list of the files included in the lsb-base package; instead you will get an empty list, or an error indicating that the file is not normal in some way.

Remove the offending list file:

Code: Select all

sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/lsb-base.list

And then let packages to sort themselves out:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
