    Bus Error : Need Help

    I keep getting a problem a bus error when trying to install a software package

    sudo apt-get install wine

    I get: Bus error (core dumped). 0%

    Ive tried another programe called scilab

    I got the same error.

    Im told that these kinds of errors are normally hardware problems but ive not got any hardware
    problems from what I know everything has been running normally. Im not sure if running on a
    persistent stick might be the issue.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Does package manager throw same for every package or for just those two packages only?
    Post the output of this
    Code:
    sudo apt-get clean all
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install htop
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Ubuntu had same problem a few years back and a bug was registered for that. Cleaning cache sorted out problem that time but it's not working this time.

    Code:
    ls /etc/var/apt/*.bin
