Title:
  package base-files 7.2ubuntu5.3 failed to install/upgrade: package
  base-files is already installed and configured

Status in dpkg package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This did not affect any functionality that I can see. The crash
  reporter asked if I would like to report it and I said yes. There has
  almost always been some type of error to report when I start this
  machine. It has an inexpensive motherboard, I don't know if that is
  related or not.
