While I'm waiting for someone to *fix* bug 405506, does anyone have an idea how to recover from it? Is a reinstall in order?
Yesterday aptitude reported Unable to parse package file /var/lib/aptitude/pkgstates This happened on an etch that was just installed the same day from a previous-day netinstall daily build. The file does exist, and appears to be binary gibberish. There's also a pkgstates.old file, about one minute older, in the same directory. Should I try replacing pkgstates by pkgstates.old in the hope that will help? I'm reluctant to do this without some idea just what role this file plays in aptitude. It doesn't seem to be the downloaded, consolidated list of available packages, since updating has no effect on it. -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
