[Bug 801667] Re: package texlive-latex-base-doc 2009-7 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: package texlive-latex-base-doc is already installed and configured

[Raphaël Hertzog]

The error message is the following:
Unpacking replacement texlive-font-utils ...

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/texlive-font-
utils_2009-10ubuntu1_all.deb (--unpack):

 failed to stat (dereference) existing symlink `/usr/share/doc/texlive-
doc/fonts/fontinst/test/testsc.tex': Input/output error

/usr/sbin/update-language-def: line 779: printf: missing unicode digit
for \u

Input/output error means that your hardware is broken usually, thus it's
not a software bug. Marking as invalid.

** Changed in: dpkg (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
