package update-manager 1:0.81.2 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: SystemError in cache.commit(): installArchives() failed

[Larry Edwards]

Binary package hint: update-manager

I am new to Linux so I am not sure what additional information you may need besides this report.

Version I am currently is 7.10 Gusty Gibbons

I keep receiving a message that updates are available however after I allow auto update to run and it tells me there is a newer version of Ubantu available plus 700+ other updates. I try to downlod the newer version of Ubuntu first. It downloads the files and begins to install the updated files when the message appears

 "The upgrade aborts now. Your system could be in an unstable state. A recovery will run now (dpkg--configure-a)" It then asks me if I want to report a bug.

Thanks
