[Kari Sakari Koski]

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS several problems after updating from previous version 14.xx. Cant get packages installed.
For example these lines give nothing on screen, 1) cat /proc/version_signature > version.log
2) sudo lspci -vnvn > lspci-vnvn.log

You may need to run the following from a terminal:

sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update

Then re-install the package or updates.

If that does not resolve your issue, please mark the bug as "Confirmed"
