Upgraded from 11.10 using the auto upgrade thing, and it seems to have gone smoothly. Now I have to figure out how to re-enable right clicking on this damned clickpad.

EDIT: Figured it out. Why is one of the main features of their new distribution disabled by default? Synaptics touch/clickpads must be a bitch to code for.

I upgraded to 12.04 and now I keep getting this error:
code:
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libgnome-control-center1_1%3a3.4.1-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 unable to install (supposed) new info file `/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/shlibs': Is a directory
when doing anything with apt-get. If I manually try to unpack the .deb with dpkg, I get the same. I removed and let apt redownload the .deb, same thing.

How can I troubleshoot this further?

Try removing it all again then doing a fsck from a recovery console.

What do you mean by removing it all again? Removing the deb?

Yeah i'm assuming you've tried purging whatever package is giving you issues, the important part is the fsck though.

EDIT: I had pretty much the same error once before, and I think it has something to do with an old inode not being cleared correctly or some such. fsck fixed it for me.

Did the fsck, now I get
code:
E: Internal Error, No file name for libssl1.0.0
when I try to do anything with apt. :cry: Tried purging libssl, updating, etc. but no change.


From my googling,

apt-get update
apt-get clean
apt-get install -fy
dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb
dpkg --configure -a
apt-get install -fy
apt-get dist-upgrade

may help you.
