Every time I install or uninstall using the Ubuntu Software Center I get this message:
Package Operation Failed
The installation or removal of the software package failed.
I get this for every download right as the download finishes, yet when I click OK it seems that what I downloaded is still there
Example:
installArchives() failed: Selecting previously unselected package libdc5:i386.

Now, it doesn't seem like anything is going wrong. I tried a few other commands such as sudo apt-get -f install, sudo apt-get clean and sudo apt-get auto clean
I also followed the instructions here, but it didn't work.
This didn't start happening until purging using the instructions for not enough free space when upgrading.
The following packages have been kept back: linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.
