Hi Matt,

many thanks for your quick answer.
I have tryed to used apt in a terminal window few days ago. It didn't works
properly (it return an error about mergelist).
Today, "apt-get update" works well (good news is'nt it ? I didn't change
anything but it works...). But I have a new error too, when I use "apt-get
upgrade", the command line return this error:

Preconfiguring packages ...
dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 25149:
 invalid package name (character `:' not allowed (only letters, digits and
characters `-+._'))
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)


So, I think is not a bug but a wrong configuration. I will try to find the
problem.

best regards,

Julien
