Hello, i reinstalled a local broken server using my own desktop backups. It's a mixed testing/unstable system. All went well but when i tried to remove some packages, something went wrong with dpkg. It seems linked to base-files. dpkg is version 1.10.10, base-files 3.0.10 This is what happens when i try apt-get install base-files:
--------------------------------------- Reading Package Lists... Building Dependency Tree... The following extra packages will be installed: base-files The following packages will be REMOVED: aalib1 gimp1.2 libwine wine 1 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 4 to remove and 109 not upgraded. 5 packages not fully installed or removed. Need to get 0B/32.8kB of archives. After unpacking 48.5MB will be freed. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] (Database inlezen ... E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg exited unexpectedly --------------------------------------- Afterwards, i have to do a dpkg --configure -a before i can use dpkg again. I checked the drive with fsck.ext3 and it's allright. The status of base-files is now listed as iHR by dpkg. I even tried ar -x on the 1.10.10 deb of dpkg and extracting that in the root so that all file are definitly not broken but that doesn't seem to help. ( this is described in the debian reference 6.3.7) Clearing the cache also doesn't help. My system is unusable like this and i really haven't got a clue why. How can i solve these dpkg crashes because it seems that these are the root of all the other problems? Thanks Benedict -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
