cannot update browser foxfire read-only file

[Tracey Saulters]

Everytime I try to update my browser it gets as far as the archcive stage. Then it comes up with a read only file. I download music and I can't get in to youtube without the updated version of foxfire.

This computer was given to me through a program...do not have software to reload. would you please help I will be eternally grateful. :)

Software index is broken

This is a major failure of your software management system. Please check for broken packages with synaptic, check the file permissions and correctness of the file '/etc/apt/sources.list' and reload the software information with: 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get install -f'.

This is all greek to me.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we cannot work on this bug because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures.

At a minimum, we need:
1. The specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem.
2. The behavior you expected.
3. The behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

In any case that doesn't seem likely to be an issue with the archive manager
