I was running an update on my sid system, and everything seemed to be
going fine until it died with the following:
Reading Package Lists... Error!
E: Read error - read (5 Input/output error)
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
Everything I try to do results in
list so I can examine it and its directory to
see if it is indeed writeable. The file system might be corrupted or
something, but I'm hesitant to reboot the machine since its 600 miles
