OK, so this bug is one YEAR old. Hello?

[Pauline (plnlnc)]

I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 15.10 and I get this message most of the time I try to install a software. I am unable to install git-all, and the install of TexMaker failed as well.

After some research, it seems that this problem was caused by git-all. Removing git-all fixed the problem for me.
