I was having trouble this morning with the "error package is broken message" for both antivirus and program updates. After reading about how to fix this problem, repairing, uninstalling and reinstalling Avast twice, it still showed the error.
Just now as I was about to send this message, my Avast updated its virus definitions and the program update worked. Was something going on this morning at the Avast website? Did anyone else have this problem?
I guess I should have just waited a while to see if it would fix itself, but not having current virus definitions always makes me nervous.
