[Bug 806130] Re: package python2.6 2.6.6-6ubuntu7 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile returned error exit status 2

[Joshua D Wood]

As I said before, this message popped up when I logged in, so my
assumption is that it was the Update Manager that tried loading the file
and ran into the problem. Unfortunately (for analysis purposes, I
suppose), python2.6 was installed successfully before my being able to
run the 'sudo service apport start force_start=1' you recommended. I
guess we'll never know what the issue was, sorry!
