thank you so much for replying my bug report,

however I failed to do that because this :

rm: cannot remove
`/var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_precise-security_multiverse_i18n_Translation-en':
No such file or directory

rm: cannot remove `/var/lib/apt/lists/partial': Is a directory

thank you again for your assistance
