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

[Raphaël Hertzog]

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 could be caused by filesystem or memory
corruption.  So please also run a fsck on your filesystem(s) and a
memory test.  Thanks in advance!

Title:
  package xfonts-encodings 1:1.0.3-1 failed to install/upgrade:
  ErrorMessage: package xfonts-encodings is already installed and
  configured

Status in “dpkg” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  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.
