Hi debianers,
When I performed a dist-upgrade from sarge to testing, the upgrade process
was not completed when I ran out of disk space.
After that, I can't install or uninstall any packages and it is always the
libread* packages that caused trouble:
---------------
#dpkg -i libreadline5_5.0-11_i386.deb
Preparing to replace libreadline5 5.0-10 (using
libreadline5_5.0-11_i386.deb) ...
install-info: No dir file specified; try --help for more information.
dpkg: warning - old pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
dpkg - trying script from the new package instead ...
dpkg: error processing libreadline5_5.0-11_i386.deb (--install):
there is no script in the new version of the package - giving up
install-info: unrecognized option `--description=GNU Readline Library API
(v5)'
Try `install-info --help' for a complete list of options.
dpkg: error while cleaning up:
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
libreadline5_5.0-11_i386.deb
---------------
I tried to reinstall, purge or another dist-upgrade but nothing changed. It
seems to me that the last resort is to reinstall the whole system. What
shall I do?
I just want to make apt work normally and does not care about what dist I
have to run now.
regards
bxuef
