Bug Description

Have update errors when updating cache, message from terminal...
 "Errors were encountered while processing:
 linux-image-3.13.0-74-generic
 linux-image-3.19.0-25-generic
 linux-image-3.19.0-42-generic

 linux-image-extra-3.19.0-42-generic
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I've attempted to download from FSU server, CosmoCities Illinois server, and Main server, all produce the same error report.

Thanks,

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Unfortunate that there is no solution provided by Ubuntu months after the fact. I had the same problem and looked up how to work around it (not sure if it's the best solution). Described in https://askubuntu.com/questions/384511/files-list-for-package-patch-is-not-a-regular-file :

    Go into the /var/lib/dpkg directory
    Make a backup of the "status" file
    Open the status file as root and find the package that causes the error.
    Delete all the text until the next PACKAGE: declaration in the file.
