[Bug 1261117] Re: Upgrade of smbclient fails

[clissold345]

Hi Brian, thanks for your response. Yes the two commands that you
suggest (apt-get clean and apt-get -f install) fix my problem. Thanks.

It was actually the output of apt-get upgrade that suggested I run apt-
get -f install. Perhaps (in this situation) it should have suggested
that I run both commands (apt-get clean and apt-get -f install)? Then I
might have fixed the problem myself. Regards, Chris.

Title:
  Upgrade of smbclient fails

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Initially I was upgrading Ubuntu using apt-get and the upgrade of
  smbclient failed. Im running ubuntu 12.04 (upgraded from 10.04). This
  is an annoying error since although I never run smbclient myself an
  error icon is now permanently displayed on the barat the top of my
  desktop: "An error occurred. Please run Package Manager ...".

  Here is the output when I retry the upgrade using apt-get -f install:

  The following packages will be upgraded:
    smbclient
