Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.  Unfortunately, the package installation error message
that you have received is actually a failure with lzma and a generic one
at that.  The following steps may help resolve the issue.  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 as this may resolve your issue.  We
plan to make lzma errors more informative and that work is being tracked
in bug 691985 which I will mark this a duplicate of.

   lzma: Encoder error: -2147467259 is too vague and causes unhelpful apport-package reports
