Starting both synaptic & gnome-app-install from terminal show no errors, but they both hang right after starting.
Trying apt-get first gets a complaint about dpgk lock, which is resolved with "sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock" - but running apt-get or aptitude a second time results in either hanging at "Reading package lists... 0%" Ctrl+C doesn't stop them, and kiling gnome-terminal leaves dpgk locked again. sources.list looks entirely standard: ========================= deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - Beta i386 (20070925.2)]/ gutsy main restricted deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu gutsy main restricted deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu gutsy main restricted ## Uncomment the following two lines to add software from the 'universe' ## repository. ## N.B. software from this repository is ENTIRELY UNSUPPORTED by the Ubuntu ## team, and may not be under a free licence.
