Thread: Problem Updating and Upgrading in 12.04

hey all. i'll try , concise can problem.

month now, have been unable perform updates on 12.04 system. time try "sudo apt-get upgrade" receive prompt:

e: syntax error /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf:5: junk @ end of file

i have red dot in top of status bar saying installed packages have unmet dependencies. gives me option show updates in dropdown menu, won't execute commands when click on "show updates" or "install updates."

second part of problem:

i've tried doing fresh install of 12.10 on system couple of times now, install process never makes past point. stops progress @ "saving installed processes." i've been told may due iso image being corrupt or burn wasn't good, i've downloaded 2 different files , burned on 3 different discs , can't seem fix problem.

if there's more information can provide please let me know. i'd upgrade system 12.10 , i'd appreciate available. in advance!

on 12.10 installation media: live media, or minimum installation?

if live media , boot medium, go grub menu select options check memory go ubuntu? check see if there selection check installation disk in menu, , run option check file downloaded.

because have downloaded 2 different times not mean did not 2 corrupted downloads.
