[Bug 881951] Re: package debianutils 3.4.3ubuntu1 failed toinstall/upgrade: ErrorMessage: package debianutils is alreadyinstalled and configured

[mark brittain]

Thanks. tried that have checked hard disk and memory all ok. this install 
failed. the problem started when I tried to upgrade to 10.10. the  result of 
the attempted install of libreoffice-impress is attached. the list file is 
no longer present.

is there an easy way to revert back to 10.04?

Mark

The command would be "apt-get install libreoffice-impress". If you get
similar error messages with other packages, you have a serious problem,
you might want to check your harddisk (or your memory) if so many files
are corrupted.

In any case, it's unlikely to be a dpkg bug.
