Bug Description

When installing Gnome Alsa I get this error:
"Ther seems to be a programming error in aptdaemon" (translated from spanish, my system's language)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/aptdaemon/worker.py", line 779, in simulate
    return self._simulate_helper(trans, status_path)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/aptdaemon/worker.py", line 958, in _simulate_helper
    return depends, status, self._cache.required_download, \
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/apt/cache.py", line 218, in required_download
    pm.get_archives(fetcher, self._list, self._records)
SystemError: E:I wasn't able to locate file for the ttf-mscorefonts-installer package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package.

I have Ubuntu 10.10 - Maverick Meerkat -, 2.6.35-25-generic linux core, GNOME 2.32.0, running on a AMD Athlon 64 processor 3200+

(Sorry for my english)
Thankyou,

Simón.

Now everything is ok

I realized that it was not a problem of Gnome Alsa, I got the same error while trying to install any aplication.

Today my system initiated an automatic update and everything got fixed: I've been able to install Gnome Alsa without any problem.

I don't know what hapened.

Sorry for de inconvenience

Thanks,

Simón.
