Comment 5 for bug 372779

Hi there,
i fixed the problem but i do not know if it will work for you but I will
tell you what i did in case it helps you.
I think the problem occurred in the first place because I did not have
enough disk space to finish the upgrade and the packages were damaged
because of this.
So, first i deleted unnecessary files and made sure i had a lot of free disk
space that will allow all the packages to be installed.
I then downloaded the latest version of ubuntu and burned it into a cd and
did a fresh installation form the cd (i did not upgrade through ubuntu). I
installed version 9.04.

After the new installation everything worked fine.

Good luck.
