Hi list,
after a recent dist-upgrade, there was some kind of installation error
which I tried to fix. After various attempts, I made things worse and
now I can not install xserver-xfree86.
This is the installation messages:
--------------------------------------
apt-get install xserver-xfree86
     

<snip>

   

Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/xserver-xfree86_4.3.0.dfsg.1-1_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
     

I believe I'd start by removing /var/cache/apt/archives/xserver-xfree86* 
and then trying again, just in the event that that file is corrupt.

   

Hi Kent,
done! no luck.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Hmm, I just did an "apt-cache search xserver-xfree86" and didn't see any 
packages that match the deb name you use above. Perhaps you're pulling 
from a non-Debian repository, and their packages are broken?
