Trouble Installing Liferea on Xubuntu 12.04

[user00757322]

I'm trying to install liferea rss reader for xubuntu 12.04. I use apt-get, but the process has repeatedly broken down.

apt-get tries to rmdir /usr/share/doc/liferea but fails because "the directory is not empty." I get a message telling me a dpkg error (1) occurred. Liferea will not run.

I'm fairly new to linux. What could be causing this to happen?

Post the output of:


sudo apt-get update

Are you trying to install from the liferea PPA? or the Ubuntu repository?

I was trying to install from the liferea ppa, but I was having other problems. I ended up upgrading to 12.10. Thanks for the help though. Problem solved.
