I'm trying to use apt-get (Dapper) inside chroot on an nfs partition mounted from an OpenBSD file server, and see the following [retyped from another screen, JIC there are typos]:
debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process dpkg: unable to lock dpkg status database: No locks available W: Not using locking for nfs mounted lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems W: Not using locking for nfs mounted lock file /var/cache/apt/archives/lock E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) It looks to me like some of these are warnings, and perhaps innocuous, since packages seem to get installed, but there are errors too, with packages not being configured. Any suggestions how I can make dpkg do (all of) its thing over nfs? -- Christopher Vance -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
