Just now downloaded latest updates. Now both the subject packages crash when I try to run them. I tried all the my limited usual terminal fixes with no results. I get the following results with sudo apt-get upgrade.

ron@ron-LR:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Segmentation faulty tree... 50%

What now? Appreciate any enlightment.

Please try:

sudo dpkg --configure -a
and run the upgrade again.

sudo rm /var/cache/apt/*.bin
but I am quite surprised this error is seen, unless there is some HD problem :/

Great:popcorn:! Mark as solved.

sudo rm /var/cache/apt/*.bin did the job. Updaters work fine now. I'll have to add that to my many notes of fixes.

Many thanks. ron
