Each time I install some package, I get the above warnings and the failed status. Here I was installing 'nginx-full' package for nginx server and I have observed these errors.

This looks like a packaging bug only, so I've removed the upstream link.

Also Ubuntu 11.04 is long EOL, so I'm marking this incomplete. If somebody still sees something like this on a current release of Ubuntu please do feel free to reopen it as New.
