Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, the package installation log attached to this bug report does not contain any useful information this is likely because your root filesystem is full. This is probably why the package failed to install. However, could you check your system for a non-empty /var/log/apt/term.log and attach it to the report? Please set the status back to New if you do. Thanks in advance.

Hey Souidos,

Hi, have you had a chance to test if this bug is still present in natty?

If it does (and if you're the original reporter), please boot into natty
and run the command:

  apport-collect <bug-number>

which will update the bug with fresh logs and tag the bug as affecting
natty. (It is best to run this right after reproducing the problem.)

We're closing this bug since it is has been some time with no response from the original reporter. However, if the issue still exists please feel free to reopen with the requested information. Also, if you could, please test against the latest development version of Ubuntu, since this confirms the bug is one we may be able to pass upstream for help.
