Comment 3 for bug 1638638

Thank you for your report.

I cannot reproduce this. In a container, I can install ndiff without errors. It seems to me that your Python installation is corrupt on your system.

Since this looks like local disk corruption or a hardware problem, rather than a bug in Ubuntu, I'm marking this bug as Invalid.

You can find pointers to get help for this sort of problem here: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community

If you believe that this is really a bug, then 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, explain why you believe this is a bug rather than a problem specific to your system, and then change the bug status back to New.
