[Victor]

Public bug reported:


after running

sudo dpkg --set-selections <packlist.txt
sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade

The processes ran, before ending some error was produced which lead mt
to this page

The process ended. Th last few lines show:

Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/libsensors4_1%3a3.3.1-2ubuntu1_i386.deb
 /var/cache/apt/archives/gcc-4.4-base_4.4.7-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

That's it.
