[Bug 1041632] [NEW] package empathy-common 3.4.1-0ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: failed to stat (dereference) existing symlink `/usr/share/help/en_GB/empathy/geolocation-not-showing.page': Input/output error

Public bug reported:

These package and another called "ubuntu-docs" keep appearing in my
update manager even though they are already installed. I am an amateur
when it comes to Ubuntu and seek advice on how to remedy the
predicament. Thank you kindly.
