While installing, java made the above mentioned error, but then adept crashed and it seems that the lockfile is still locked, because i was not able to reopen adept "because of another process using the package database". "sudo apt-get install" said I should do "sudo dpkg --configure -a" I got the output: ...... dpkg: Fehler beim Bearbeiten von language-pack-kde-de-base (--configure): Paket ist in einem sehr schlechten inkonsistenten Zustand - Sie sollten es nochmal installieren, bevor Sie die Konfiguration versuchen. Richte perl-suid ein (5.8.8-7ubuntu3) ... Processing triggers for libc6 ... ldconfig deferred processing now taking place Fehler traten auf beim Bearbeiten von: language-pack-kde-de-base
after doing "sudo aptget install language-pack-kde-de-base --reinstall" I could start adept normally and update all packages. but firefox &java still ere not installed. I gave it another try which ended with the successful install of firefox and a corrupted j2re1.4-mozilla-plugin. -- package j2re1.4 None [modified: /var/lib/dpkg/info/j2re1.4.list] failed to install/upgrade: subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 3 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/135013 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
