Package operation failed E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
1
When I run software update I get
package operation failed
The updates downloaded ok.
The error window disappeared so fast, I could not write down errors.
I ran sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/apt_1.6.6ubuntu0.1_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
While following the answer below I got:
Unpacking apt (1.6.6ubuntu0.1) over (1.6.6) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/apt_1.6.6ubuntu0.1_amd64.deb (--unpack):

Months ago I added the immutable attribute to apt-daily.timer.
For some reason, software updater decided it did not like that.
After removing the attribute, software updater now works. ?

Next time consider to disable these timers or mask them. File-system hacks are dangerous (as you have seen) :)

I don't see what I did as dangerous per se. I only did it because sometimes my customized apt.daily.timer is overwritten. It is just part of the learning process. I have a script that copies that version on each boot up. I keep a file of most changes I make just in case problems develop. :-)
