[Bug 1258892] Re: package dpkg 1.16.1.2ubuntu7.1 [modified: sbin/start-stop-daemon] failed to install/upgrade: short read on buffer copy for backend dpkg-deb during `./usr/share/locale/gl/LC_MESSAGES/dpkg.mo'

[Ubuntu Foundations Team Bug Bot]

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!

[This is an automated message.  I apologize if it reached you
inappropriately; please just reply to this message indicating so.]
