Hi there, Yesterday I was trying to run apt-get to update my gmc package when somethig weird happened and it had a major lock (I think it locked when running dpkg)... Now, dpkg refuses to run because, when reading the database, it finds a problem in the /var/lib/dpkg/info/at.list file...
The initial problem was that there was a lot of (non-ascii) garbage at the end of the file... I backed it up and removed the binary garbage, and now I get the following message (this time I was trying to remove at in ordre to have the database OK and then reinstall it): ----BEGIN INCLUDED MSG----- ROOT:/var/cache/apt/archives# dpkg -r --no-act at (Reading database ... dpkg: error processing at (--remove): files list file for package `at' is truncated Errors were encountered while processing: at Processing was halted because there were too many errors. -----END INCLUDED MSG----- Now, how can I arrange things in order to have dpkg running fine again? I looked in the dpkg help files and couldn't find any useful info about it (I hoped to find some ¨--force-install¨ or something)... Alternatively... could someone out there send me (in pvt, of course) a copy of the /var/lib/dpkg/info/at.list file? My version of at is 3.1.8-4 []'s Guilherme Zahn
