Please report this error at http://launchpad.net/aptdaemon/+filebug and retry. I run 32 bit Ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition inside of VMWare Player. i got the installer for Virtual Box at: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads and chose Ubuntu 10.10 ("Maverick Meerkat") I386. my computer is a Emachines model T5247a and i have an Intel Pentium 4 dual-core E2180 2.00 GHz processor. the host operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium service pack 2 32 bit. this is my first time with Linux and I don't know what else to say but the very first thing i did was download virtual box with Firefox and install it so I don't think I did anything to screw stuff up.

If a local package file gets installed and the installation fails aptdaemon will show an unknown error. The installation of a local package can fail because e.g. it is of bad quality or the wrong architecture (32bit vs 64bit). You can try to install the corresponding package from the command line: sudo dpkg -i PACKAGE_FILE This error has been fixed in aptdaemon. Nowadays the correct error (package manager failed) gets shown. If you still have problems installing packages contact the provider of the packages or the forums.
