Install RELEASE and Software Manager are tweaking out.

[AlmondOK]

I installed Natty Narwhal from a pendrive I set up, which was a bit of a messy install to begin with. However, after booting into Ubuntu, this application called "Install RELEASE" appears. When I run it, it shows up just like I'm installing Ubuntu again. After following it through, it will stop and say that it must unmount /. It offers two options, Go Back, or Continue. Picking either does nothing. This hasn't seemed too big an issue. I can still run it fine. However, the Software Centre is an issue. Whenever I try to download something from it, I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/aptdaemon/worker.py", line 961, in simulate
trans.unauthenticated = self._simulate_helper(trans)

pm.get_archives(fetcher, self._list, self._records)
SystemError: E:I wasn't able to locate file for the sun-java6-jre package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package.

Any ideas?

Hi, welcome to the fora.

You could try to boot the computer and run the commands


sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgradeIn any error message appears, please post it.

The first two went off without a hitch. The third one prompted me with this:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

I typed it in, it requested to install sun-java6.
After it finished, I went to the Software Centre, and I could download and install new applications. Thanks for the help! What a wonderful welcome this has been!

You are welcome. This is just 'Ubuntu' :-)
