Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that there was an error on your system when trying to install a particular package. Please execute the following command, as it will clear your package cache, in a terminal:

sudo apt-get clean

Then try performing the update again. This will likely resolve your issue, but the failure can be caused by filesystem or memory corruption. So please also run a fsck on your filesystem(s) and a memory test. If this does resolve your bug please set its status to Invalid. Thanks in advance!

I have since updated to Ubuntu 10.10 and I am no longer experiencing any problems with update. I have also replaced one of my hard drives as I noticed some irregularities that suggested that the disk was about to die. If no one else is experiencing this I would suggest that my faulty hard drive was the source and close this bug report.

Regards
