Bug#530880: dpkg: E: _cache-open() failed
Subject: E: _cache-open() failed
Package: dpkg
Version: 1.15.2
Justification: renders package unusable
Severity: grave
*** Please type your report below this line ***
Opening synaptic, I get the following error message:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to
correct the problem.
E: _cache-open() failed, please report.
dpkg --configure -a fails. I have attached an strace. I know there are
some broken packages in my system, but they were there also before
upgrading dpkg, so I don't know it this is related.
I can't really understand well what's the problem, HTH.
Ciao,
steko
