This problem I had today with an upgrade of my Hardy beta. Here a short description what happened: I run an update with the update manager. The update of the packages went well. After this I exectuted the upgrade when suddenly closed unexpectetly. when I tried to run the update in the console with "apt-get upgrade" I get the following error: "The package index files are corrupted. No Filename: field for package"
After an "apt-get clean" and an "apt-get upgrade" I get an "Segmentation fault". Well from now I wasn't able no more to run either synaptic packet manager, nor the update-manager or apt-get. After running "aptitude update" I was able to run again an "apt-get upgrade". Remarks: Sorry now that I couldn't reproduce the bug, I cannot send you a backtrace. But for the doubts, if this happen again, can you tell me how to get a backtrace in the case of "apt-get upgrade"? I tried as described in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace but I didn't worked for me: > sudo gdb `apt-get dist-upgrade` 2>&1 | tee gdp-apt-get.txt E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? Where "gdb `sudo apt-get dist-upgrade` 2>&1 | tee gdp-apt-get.txt" didn't work either. -- apt segmentation faults (core dump) in feisty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/72475 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
