[Bug 796264] [NEW] package xfonts-encodings 1:1.0.3-1 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: package xfonts-encodings is already installed and configured

[Kerry Lamb]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: dpkg

This was found when as I was installing Ubuntu 11.04 after installing
Ubuntu 10.10 from the disk contained in the magazine Linux Starter Kit
for Beginners Vol 4 #1.  This is my first experience with Ubuntu so I
don't know of any other information to provide.

Instructions below state that you need the Version of the Package I'm
using but as a new user I don't know what "apt-cache policy pkgname" is
and I don't know what to look for in the software center.  Sorry.
