Bug Description
Using Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 LTS 64bit with the following PPAs included in the Software Sources:
1) gnome3
2) gnome3-staging
3) gnome3-next
I get the following error when executing 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade':
=======
Preparing to unpack .../gnome-
Unpacking gnome-session (3.11.4-
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/
trying to overwrite '/usr/share/
dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
=======
My installations is two days old.
I've never seen the '(Broken pipe)' reference before, so I assume this is a packaging issue.
I don't know what information to provide, so I kindly ask for your understanding and guidance if more information is needed.
Attached to the report are the outputs of:
1) cat /etc/apt/
2) ls /etc/apt/
3) uname -a
And here is the full output of 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade':

Using 'apt-get install -f' and 'dpkg --configure -a' doesn't make any differnce.
Thank you in advance.
