apt [strange error]
the other day i tried using dselect to upgrade as normal, this is what i saw when trying to [I]nstall Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done E: The package checker needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. Some errors occurred while unpacking. I'm going to configure the packages that were installed. This may result in duplicate errors or errors caused by missing dependencies. This is OK, only the errors above this message are important. Please fix them and run [I]nstall again Press enter to continue. installation script returned error exit status 100. Press enter to continue. then i tried to use apt-get dist-upgrade and i got this Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done E: The package checker needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. i tried using dpkg and it works fine, but i reinstalled dpkg and apt to insure it wasnt a broken package, i asked on irc.debian.org and no one could help... PLEASE help me get apt working thanks daniel

Done E: The package checker needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. This means the package 'checker' is in a state that is defined to require dpkg --unpack on the original .deb to get out of. APT is telling you that it cannot find that .deb to unpack so checker can be fixed. You will have to do some manual things with dpkg to fix the checker package, probably removing it with a forcing option. Jason

Apt strange error!!!
Hi all. My friend has a Debian potato machine and there is occorring the following error: amora:/home/luke# apt-get update Reading Package Lists... Error! E: Encountered a section with no Package: header E: Problem with MergeList /var/state/apt/lists/home_mirror_debian_dists_stable_main_binary-i386_Packages E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. This file that it shows is the Packages.gz descompacted, the same as debian/dists/frozen/main/binary-i386/Packages. What can be wrong and how to fix this?
