[Bug 545790] Re: package PACKAGE failed to install/upgrade: error writing to '<standard output>': Success

[Randyman99]

Brachayehhudit, the problem solved itself for me just by running the
software installation again. While Ubuntu does work better with a bit of
technical saviness, it's not too difficult to pick it up in bits and
pieces over time, and I would encourage you to stick with it and learn
to do the upgrades yourself over time. No need to pay someone else when
they don't know what they're doing. BTW, it would not work to take your
hard drive out and take it to someone else. The installation is hardware
specific, so the person you take it too would need to have the exact
same hardware configuration, which is not likely.
