Tired of getting this error again and again and it's blocking ubuntu software center from getting started it's just crashing when I try to open it. And getting this error at the time of installing and updating software center and any other application. It's blocking the installation.

apt is trying to reinstall or update the picasa:i386 package, but the system does not find the corresponding .deb file. The apt and apt-get commands try to obtain the packages from PPA repositories. If you installed picasa (or another software) (1) downloading a .deb instead of using these repositories or (2) using a dead repository, you may end with packages you cannot update.

If you need Picasa, you may try to find the software you used to install it.

  • I tried to install the Picasa by adding the old testing repository of Google. However, I got an W: Unable to download ... error after configuring the testing repository that included Picasa.

    # it does not work !!
$ sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ testing non-free' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list"
$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 7FAC5991 
$ sudo apt-get update

  • Apparently, the installation process uses Wine and the windows version of Picasa. You may try to download Picasa from other non-google sites.

If you do not need Picasa. I think you must uninstall the (unsupported) picasa.

    $ sudo apt-get remove picasa
    $ sudo apt-get autoremove
