Re: [Bug 1346809] Re: package ubuntu-docs 14.04.3 failed to install/upgrade: failed to stat (dereference) existing symlink `/usr/share/help/uz/ubuntu-help/user-forgottenpassword.page': Input/output error

 

Hi Gunnar

I went  into Synaptic and completely removed the package, then did an 
update and re-installed it, it worked, cured the problem

Thanks

Bug description:
  This happens every time I try to udate using the software updater,

  does'nt work.

  of the updates can work without a problem
