每当我尝试更新或安装程序时，我都会收到“包操作失败”消息。
以下是详细信息部分的内容：

知道哪里出了问题以及如何修复吗？显然这与 couchdb-bin、desktopcouch 和 deskcouch-ubuntuone 有关
答案1
您是否有任何隐藏的锁文件？
/etc/passwd.lock特别寻找/etc/shadow.lock。
如果它们存在，请将其删除，可能是旧的 visudo 崩溃了或者其他什么原因。
答案2
您的机器（或软件包）出现了严重问题，但由于我没有看到大量有关该软件包的报告，因此我认为是您的机器出了问题。
失败的是adduser。那是系统的一个重要部分。我会四处寻找严重损坏的东西，例如 readonly /etc/，或 no/proc/或类似的东西。
