I am having a problem , when I try to install or upgrade something, it appears like it fails, but it does not.

This will pop up usually only for the Ubuntu Software Center.

Image 1

This will pop up after installing for upgrading anything.

Image 2

Yet the program still works (well, this one didn't really. But it installed fine for as long as I kept it installed.)

Image 3

This isn't a big deal since the programs install fine. But the errors are still annoying.

Update: When I manually, refresh the update manager, an error pops up but it still works. Update: When doing an update, this is the error I got

On the popup that says "Package Operation Failed," we need to see the contents of the "Details" drop-down. – Tom Jul 17 '12 at 14:37
from your second image , click the Details in package operation failed ,and copy-paste the error here. – tijybba Jul 17 '12 at 14:47
@tijybba Okay, did it for an update. (I would have tried it for the image, but for some reason, I didn't think clicking details on the image would of worked. :D) – PyRulez Jul 18 '12 at 15:09
