package bind9-host 1:9.7.0.dfsg.P1-1ubuntu0.3 failed to install/upgrade: unable to install new version of `/usr/share/doc/bind9-host/copyright': No such file or directory

[Hunter Richards]

at first the bind9-host package would hang on unpacking it, I wasn't able to resolve this with any help on the forums or anywhere so I rebooted and this allowed synaptics to unpack and attempt to upgrade the package but Ubuntu reported the package was unable to upgrade.

Thanks for taking the time to submit this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

It sounds like the package file may be corrupted. Could you clear it out by doing

   sudo apt-get clean

and then re-try the upgrade? Please let us know if that did not help.
