Re: [SLUG] Fixing broken apt-get on Zentyal (Ubuntu)
I'd call these configuration files, and in any case something you don't want to just wipe out out right without a way to restore. Why do you propose to remove them anyway? apt-get complains about an internal error. Your original response is identical to http://askubuntu.com/a/337795, which someone reported to work for them without the rm -f. I'd say - try the sudo dpkg --configure -a by itself first. Back to the original question - google'ing the error comes up with threads which indicate post-upgrade troubles. Have you gone through a major upgrade recently?

Re: [SLUG] Fixing broken apt-get on Zentyal (Ubuntu)
Ah see this is how it got like this. Search how to fix type all those commands in without understanding any of it.. ok - doesn't work... move to the next web page... repeat.. Anyway, they don't want to pay for time to do a fresh install. It's almost a management decision to allow a reboot. Installing packages manually works, but no automatic download and install anymore. The problem was initially caused by a Zentyal specific library failing (suricata). Not worth fixing.

Sometimes third-party software (Google Chrome is the most popular, but others do it too) install their 'deb' lines into sources.list.d too, so by wiping that directory blindly you're potentially missing out on vital security updates. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
