There is a lengthy post with an 'ugly fix' for this problem: I do not know what else this would break.

From a terminal window, edit /etc/init.d/udev as follows:

sudo nano /etc/init.d/udev

After the ### END INIT INFO add:

exit 0

Save and exit.

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get upgrade

  • Your problem there is that you are on Ubuntu 13.10, and the software has moved. Your archives will need to be updated, as detailed in http://askubuntu.com/questions/91815/how-to-install-software-or-upgrade-from-an-old-unsupported-release – Charles Green Dec 01 '14 at 00:08
  • no, i install 14.04 LTS and again have this error: E: Unable to locate package ubuntu-restricted-extras – nikolr8 Dec 01 '14 at 13:32
  • It should be in the multiverse - there is not space enough here to add pictures and stuff. Can you ask that as a new question? – Charles Green Dec 01 '14 at 13:43
  • Unfortunately the question is closed - you can edit it to reflect the change to 14.04, and flag it for reopening... – Charles Green Dec 01 '14 at 13:48
