[Bug 875944] Re: package xfburn 0.4.3-2ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: package xfburn is already installed and configured

[Raphaël Hertzog]

The precise error is the one below. Can you show us the output of "sudo
ls -al /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/stock/media/" ?

Does the error persist if you retry the upgrade ? (with "sudo apt-get
install xfburn")

Unpacking replacement xfburn ...
