Re: apt-get upgrade error: package `coreutils' contains empty filename ?
I'm not too worried about losing anything. It's an embedded device which runs off a flash drive, and its only purpose is to act as a file server for a mounted USB drive. I've checked the drive and it's fine, but its entirely possible the flash drive has been corrupted. # cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/wamerican.postinst #!/bin/sh set -e # Automatically added by installdeb-wordlist . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule SCRIPT=/usr/sbin/update-default-wordlist if [ $1 = configure ] ; then if [ -x $SCRIPT ]; then $SCRIPT --rebuild else echo Error: $SCRIPT not present or executable.

However, if you do an upgrade every month, your system should not (for example) be wanting to install that openssh-blacklist package which was from May 2008. So something is clearly wrong. Have you tried googling for $__ANONIO__ ? If you do, you will find several links back to this list. I suggest you search for that string in the following link, as there are several matches: http://lists.debian.org/search.html A quick glance suggests that the problem is some sort of dpkg corruption, for example, this thread: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2003/09/msg03085.html You may do better asking again on this list but without referring to NSLU2 in your subject. It seems that running a slug is not relevant in this instance, but many people may think that it is and tend to ignore you ;-) It is worth noting that etch is very soon to become 'oldstable' and lenny will be the new stable.

Re: Unable to upgrade NSLU2 running debian
Hi Bob, I did in fact run apt-get update first, and apt-get upgrade fails with the same errors as dist-upgrade. I usually try to upgrade it once a month. # cat /etc/apt/sources.list # deb http://linux.csua.berkeley.edu/debian/ etch main deb http://linux.csua.berkeley.edu/debian/ etch main deb-src http://linux.csua.berkeley.edu/debian/ etch main deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main On Thu, Jan 15, 2009 at 01:22:48 -0800, Eric Higgins (erichigg...@gmail.com) wrote: I've noticed recently that I can no longer perform upgrades on my Linksys NSLU2 running Debian ARM. No luck from the debain-arm mailing list, they suggested I try this one.

Firstly, please confirm that you did an apt-get update before the apt-get dist-upgrade and secondly post the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list file. I am also wondering why a dist-upgrade rather than just an upgrade, although I doubt if that is anything to do with your problem. I run etch/arm on one NSLU2 and lenny/armel on another and upgrade both with few problems so hopefully this is fixable. That openssh-blacklist package dates back to last May.
