errors with apt in utopic terminal?

[ventrical]

Just tried to install fvwm-crystal in Terminal and got the following errors:

ventrical@ventrical-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install fvwm-crystal
[sudo] password for ventrical: 
Reading package lists... Error!
E: Problem renaming the file /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin.ygYWBn to /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin - rename (2: No such file or directory)
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
ventrical@ventrical-desktop:~$

but it worked just fine in synaptic.

With 3.15.0-031500rc2-generic kernel over here. Didn't use fvwm-crystal because of the amount of extra packages it would bring with it, but test it to install mousepad and nothing went wrong:

It could well have been some temporary glitch.

It could well have been some temporary glitch.

Yes. I guess lot of these "temporary glitches" will come in future. Almost always I've had such glitches in development branch.

[slickymaster]

Yeah, that's U+1 for you. It's all in a day's work, as expected.

[ventrical]

Another thought was that perhaps it may be the Ubuntu.info file update missing.

Got it

[ventrical]

Got a few bisquits down the pipe.

The following packages will be upgraded:
  dpkg gawk kmod libdpkg-perl libkmod2 locales module-init-tools pkg-config
  unity-greeter vim-common vim-tiny
