I can't install anything on my Ubuntu.. I googled it, found the same problem, but none of the proposed solutions solved my issue.. All the time, it keeps giving me

No apport report written because the error message 
indicates its a followup error from a previous failure.  

Errors were encountered while processing:  
 tex-common  
 texlive-binaries  
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)  

when I try to use sudo apt-get install xx

Thanks a lot!

  • This is an appport message, not related to the app crashing but to the system Ubuntu uses to report bugs to the developers. Please give us the full output of sudo apt-get install xx. Nov 18, 2010 at 11:02
  • I don't have that now, as the problem was fixed. Sorry Nov 18, 2010 at 11:40
  • @KirilKirov Would you be able to accept the other answer? As the link in your accepted one is dead now?
