Hi all.
I know that a debian mirrors problem was posted about recently on this
list, but I decided to do an apt-get update
and apt-get -u dist-upgrade on my play box, since I haven't done that
for a week, and am using debian unstable.
After running apt-get -u dist-upgrade for the first time, and then for
a second time, I got the
below errors.
apt-get -u dist-upgrade
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Calculating Upgrade... Done
The following packages will be upgraded
python python2.3
2 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
16 not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B/2897kB of archives.
After unpacking 16.4kB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y
(Reading database ... 20978 files and directories currently
installed.)

Errors were encountered while processing:

/var/cache/apt/archives/python2.3_2.3.2-6_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I then tried dpkg --auto-deconfigure as suggested above, but got a
message saying that no action was specified, or something like that.
Then, I ran apt-get -u dist-upgrade for the third time, and got the
same error messages as above.
Can someone please help get me out of this mess?
Thanks.
Greg

I usually try delete the file that it can't overwrite. or I force the
pacage with one of the dpkg--forse-options
dpkg --help-force |more.a
Then If I can't get one of those options to work
I send the information directly to the author of the package
You can find the package in question
in
/var/lib/dpkg/availavle
