Bug description:
  Hi,

  My Task bar at the top has a stop sign. An error keeps occurring.

  E:Read error - read (5: Input/output error), E:The package lists or
  status file could not be parsed or opened.

  I am running U12.04     5.2.2

  I am attempting to Update My Software

  The program loads what needs to be updated (currently 165 packages)
  however when I click on Install Updates it fails with the above error
  code.

  And it has requested that I inform a member of the development team.
  So I am.

  Hope this helps you guys :-)

  All the best,

  Adam Carter
