Please note: I'm a newbie with Ubuntu, only just beginning to get a grasp on terminal, etc.
Whenever I try to install anything using terminal, with
sudo apt-get install vlc
it works fine until I have confirmed additional disk space will be used.
After it has fetched all the necessary files and unpacked them, I get a long list starting with
dpkg: error processing [...]
And it ends with
Processing was halted because there weE: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an
errorcode (1)
I already googled for a solution quite a bit but can't find anyone with the exact same issue.
Also, I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but I tried to get some additional plugins for an application I installed through software center and it gave me an error message saying
"An unhandlable error occured: There seems to be a programming error in aptdaemon, the software that allows you to install/remove software and to perform other package management related tasks."
Here's the full error log: http://pastebin.com/9YJSrf4a
181 not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0 B/358 kB of archives.
After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? y
