[Bug 497776] Re: package libxml-libxml-perl 1.70.ds-1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 255

[Brian Murray]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.  It seems that there was an error on your system when
trying to install a particular package.  Please execute the following
command, as it will clear your package cache, in a terminal:

sudo apt-get clean

Then try performing the package operation again.  This will likely
resolve your issue, but the failure can be caused by filesystem or
memory corruption.  So please also run a fsck on your filesystem(s) and
a memory test.  If this does not resolve your bug please set its status
back to New.  Thanks in advance!
