apt-get dist-update failure - can't boot
After doing a apt-get dist-update and restarting the pc because of some errors I'm getting the problem as show in the image. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y116/fscussel/Untitled.jpg can't dist-update and system is not working correctly, many missing libraries which I don't know how to reinstall since it doesn't allow because of deppendencies.

Does copy and paste not work for you? It would be much nicer if that text was in the email you sent. Install gpm if you need mouse support at the console. It looks like your perl is broken. What where you dist-upgrading to/from? Did you follow the release notes for what you are upgrading to? A broken perl is usually a very bad thing. From you output it looks like your 'perl-base' is scheduled to be upgraded. You should try installing the new version of that package with dpkg and then retrying your apt-get/aptitude run.

It's worth a shot, depending of if dpkg has not been borked, 'dpkg -i perl-base' His screen shot seems to have a working dpkg. It attempts to invoke the prerm scripts of a perl module. That fails due to not being able to find 'File/Basename.pm', which causes dpkg to fail the --remove action with error code 1. apt-get then stops the install run. Aptitude might get further than apt-get, but the prerm of the perl module is going to keep failing until perl is fixed. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/\_/ signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
