View Full Version : apt-get upgrade - unpacking updates fails: xz syntax error?

I'm running 12.04 Server (3.2.0-38-generic, x86_64), and I'm having the following problems with updates.

It's the same as below for all updates, they're failing to unpack and I'm not sure what to try now. I'd appreciate any help.

I don't know if the missing shared library is relevant or how to deal with that either?
