The red box in the center of the screen says: No solution to these
descrepency problems exists!
At this point Aptitude is essentially frozen.
Attempts to run dpkg produce:
root# dpkg -i libc-bin
dpkg: error processing libc-bin (--install): cannot access archive: No
such file or directory
Errors were encountered while processing: libc-bin
This can't work, because 'dpkg -i' needs files (not package names).
Please provide the output of:
dpkg --print-architecture
dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
apt-cache policy
apt-cache policy libc-bin
aptitude --simulate safe-upgrade
aptitude --simulate full-upgrade
I'm assuming your package lists are updated, otherwise please run
'aptitude update' (or press 'u' in interactive mode) first.
Kind regards,
Andrei
I ran your suggestions. When aptitude --simulate worked OK, I decided to
run a dpkg upgrade and it worked. I found that something was wrong with
Aptitude. I purged Aptitude using apt-get and reinstalled the package.
Everything now works fine. Thanks for your help.
