Ubuntu
software-center package

update manager not working

Asked by reed banals

I ran, this in terminal;

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get install -f

lThe following packages will be upgraded:
  libwbclient0
1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 358 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B/108kB of archives.
After this operation, 76.2MB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? Y
(Reading database ... 133483 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace libwbclient0 2:3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3.3 (using .../libwbclient0_2%3a3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3.10_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement libwbclient0 ...

This hangs there FOREVER and does Nothing!

 I can not make the half installed attempt go way.
Therefore I can not update or install ANYTHING else.

I was simply activating file sharing, is this a Samba issue?

maybe try:
sudo dpkg --force-all -P libwbclient0
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get install libwbclient0

If the advice given by Joseph Matheney does not help, you should execute steps 1 to 6 of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure with the only deviation that in step 6 you should not create a new question document, but should paset everything into this current one.
