[Bug 370499] [NEW] Upgrading fails on login 1:4.0.18.2-1ubuntu2
*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***
Public security bug reported:
Upgrading is failing. The Upgrade Manager gives this error:
Extracting templates from packages: 100%
Preconfiguring packages ...
(Reading database ... 105644 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace login 1:4.0.18.2-1ubuntu2 (using .../login_1%3a4.0.18.2-1ubuntu2.2netbook0build1_lpia.deb) ...

Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install. Trying to recover:
E:

apt-get upgrade gives about the same result. Trying to manually touch
or create the directory fails with an Input/output error. So does re-
downloading the file or trying to install it manually.

It looks like it is trying to install a Swedish man page, probably not a
high priority for most. I'm hesitant to try to uninstall a package
called 'login' to try and unstick the system. It is a security problem
because it prevents me from upgrading.
