My computer (or at least the graphics) froze right after login this morning. After rebooting the machine and logging in again - I was informed by avast that the last update failed. Now when I try to update I just receive the 'Last encountered error - The package is broken' error. A quick search looks like everyone's recommendation is to just reinstall avast. Is this the only way to fix this?
Edit: I just saw the recommendation to 'repair'. Trying that says: 'Error processing packages - please use full update'. Trying the 'Update' feature from the same place again gives the error about the packages. Here's the end of the log that is visible trying that way:
