what the terminal says during the process:
[code]

i tried:
sudo aptitude reinstall gnome-app-instal
then i deleted "death" sources from my sourcelist and the problem supposed to be fixed.
But now it comes again and again. The guys on my ubuntu-community recommented to make a bug-report here. I hope it helps.
best regards and thanks for you great work, calvin2kger!

Could you please check if the pacakges 'ubuntu-minimal', 'ubuntu-standard' and 'ubuntu-desktop' are installed?
This looks like a duplicate of #81190.
