/var/lib/available seems to be empty I noticed. Removing virtualbox-2.1 from /var/lib/dpkg/status doesn't make a difference. It seems it is a bug in virtualbox-2.1, fixed from 3.1 onwards, but as it stands I cannot use ANY apt/aptitude/dpkg command on this box till this is fixed. It won't purge/remove either. I blogged about it here: http://bit.ly/gSRmbS with attached files from /var/lib/dpkg/status. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
