[Bug 1548814] Re: package linux-headers-3.19.0-51 (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: cannot copy extracted data for './usr/src/linux-headers-3.19.0-51/include/linux/plist.h' to '/usr/src/linux-headers-3.19.0-51/include/linux/plist.h.dpkg-new': unexpected end of file or stream

 

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 update again.  This will likely resolve your
issue, but the failure could be caused by filesystem or memory
corruption.  So please also run a fsck on your filesystem(s) and a
memory test.  Thanks in advance!

[This is an automated message.  I apologize if it reached you
inappropriately; please just reply to this message indicating so.]

Bug description:
  I've been getting system problem errors occasionally for about a week
  now.  Firefox crashes every 10 minutes or so.  That's been going on
  for about a month.  Received notification that ubuntu update was
  available.  Clicked install now.  Got system problem error midway
  through.  Chose to report problem.  Always choose report problem, but
  this is the first time I've been brought here.  Summary and package
  info auto-filled.  I have no idea what info you need here.  Very new
  to Linux.  Son installed on second hard drive because Windows 10
  crashed every 10 minutes.
