An unhandled error occured
 
hi there!

I've been running ubuntu 10.10 on a desktop pc for a few days now. Whenever i try to install something from the software centre i get this message

An unhandled error occured
There seems to be a programming error in aptdaemon, the software that allows you to install/remove software and to perform other package management related tasks. Please report this error at http://launchpad.net/aptdaemon/+filebug and retry.

Could somebody please tell me what all this means...i am a newbie to linux and ubuntu so i would greatly appreciate some advice with a resolve to this issue.

Many thanks!

There is no such package. Most likely, that should be ruby1.8 instead of zuby1.8.

Run apt-get clean from the command line and report back if you have any luck. I want to confirm that it is not something simple enough like that. If not, you might have to edit a file or two.

What is interesting, is the fact that i copied and pasted the error directly into this thread, and yet you say there is no such package. what does this mean?

Typing apt-get clean does nothing in the command line, and as i am a complete newbie i assumed that i should use 'sudo' and add the function before putting apt-get clean.

This did nothing visibly in the command line, and the same problem still persists when trying to download the package. What i did earlier today before i encountered this issue; i downloaded gnupg to resolve the issue that gives an error message saying that the package is untrusted or unvarified....does this having something to do with my current issues?

Thanks for getting back so quick, any furthur ideas?

corp769 03-13-2011 12:37 PM

Can you post your /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/apt/cache.py file? I am very curious as to why it is throwing this error.....

sure thing, could you possibly tell me how to do this?

corp769 03-13-2011 01:40 PM

Code:

sudo gedit /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/apt/cache.py
Copy and paste, and use code tags. If it is a big file though, use pastebin.com

jamesubuntufan 03-14-2011 05:50 AM

change of work and home situation

Hi there, before i could carry out your most recent recomendation, my home and work situation has changed dramatically, which means that i will not be able to gain access to my (ubuntu) pc until this next coming sunday.

Thankyou so very much for your assistance with this problem so far, i will carry out your recomendation and post the results at the end of the week. Until then, if you are able to monitor this thread for the next week, when i get back home to continue with the trouble shooting of this problem you should be notified.

Thanks again :)

corp769 03-14-2011 07:47 AM

You just need to make a post, it will come up in my subscribed threads.

hi there, i'm back but i only have today to answer questions regarding my system before i become unavailable again for another week.

I entered your command into terminal and password. I got an empty box, when i tried to save that it said "Could not find the file /usr/lib/pyhton2.6/dist-packages/apt/cache.py."

any ideas?

It should be /usr/lib/pyhton2.6/dist-packages/apt/cache.py and not /usr/lib/pyhton2.6/dist-packages/apt/cache.py. Note the period at the end.

In addition to the information above, i thought this might come in useful. (i got this with the usual error message in the details section when trying to install skype)

Traceback (most recent call last):

Can you please edit your posts and use code tags? Thanks.

And try running apt-get clean all, and try installing again.

When you click on "Post reply" and a new page loads with the reply box, within the options above, hit the button that has the # and it will add the code tags for you. You can highlight a selection of text and hit it, or do it manually and type [ code ] and [ /code ] respectively, without the spaces.
