[Bug 792179] Re: package python-reportlab 2.5-1ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile was killed by signal (Killed)

[Brian Murray]

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!

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: python-reportlab

  An error popped up when I logged on to my computer. I clicked "Report"
  and another error report showed up saying there was an error with
  reporting this other error...I don't know enough about python to know
  why? Hope someone can figure something out?! If this report doesn't
  help, at least it will bring attention to the area.
