Debian :: Broke Dpkg Or Somethin' Now What?
Jan 27, 2010
I haven't ran into this one before. I was installing apps thru terminal and accidently closed terminal while it was downloading now, when I try to install anything I get
Code:
dpkg: `ldconfig' not found on PATH.
dpkg: `start-stop-daemon' not found on PATH.
dpkg: `update-rc.d' not found on PATH.
dpkg: 3 expected program(s) not found on PATH.
NB: root's PATH should usually contain /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin and /sbin.
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
A package failed to install. Trying to recover:

I want to install gcc on my Pyramid linux which is debian based. I downloaded gcc.deb. When I want to install this file, it gives me "dpkg command not found" error! I also get this error when I want to install other .deb files using dpkg command " dpkg -i finename.deb. I did some research and it seams that I should install package on my system, but package file is .deb file and I can't install .deb file! What should I do to solve the problem??? Should I install any thing on my system to install .deb files??

I installed the software Ubuntu Tweak yesterday and I was satisfied of how it worked. today, surfing the internet I was hoping to find a solution to a couple of problems that I have: the computer sometimes get stuck when opening videos or photos - I can't see streaming TV. when the internet browser was asking me to install plug-in in order to show the videos I tried to install them but errors occurred.
so I followed the instruction in [URL] (many of these things didn't work and the terminal was showing error messages...) now after rebooting I have got the unity 2D I think (which is fine as I can't notice great differences) but I can't install the updates from Ubuntu Tweak the error message is: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report. how can I fix it and get my video codecds?

I'm trying to build Qt using dpkg-buildpackage. Briefly, the problem I have consists in that using dpkg-buildpackage I get a linking error, that I don't get if I run configure and make directly, without the mediation of dpkg-buildpackage. One of the issues that we have is that, using dpkg-buildpackage, the configure command is not capable of finding the .qmake.cache file, so, the environment variables set in the configure script and saved in that file are not read, which causes that the apropiate linking parameters are not used. I guess that the problem is caused by a difference in the environment of execution of the configure command. I don't know in which way the dpkg-buildpackage is changing the environment so that it makes fail the building process.
I run 'make deb-x11' to start building process using dpkg-buildpackage: This is the main Makefile:
X11_DEB = gvr-qt-x11-lgpl_$(X11_VERSION)_i386.deb
...
BUILDPACKAGE_ARGS = -b
BUILDPACKAGE_ARGS += -rfakeroot
BUILDPACKAGE_ARGS += -uc

I tend to use commands like 'aptitude search $something' or 'dpkg -S /usr/bin/command' (some command/variable in both) or 'apt-file search $something' and all/or many of its brethen. I do run updatedb every now and then but that command is for the overall health of the system similar to tracker perhaps (but not running continously like tracker and the daemon).
What I'm looking for is, if there is a way to get the package list (installed and otherwise) updated aggressively so that whenever I use any combination of aptitude or dpkg I get better response from the system. From what little I understand, aptitude or dpkg or somewhere there would be some sort of index/database where the current state of package availability and system state would be recorded. If there is a way that this could be improved upon would be nice to know. If there is some experimental package or road which the debian folks are looking for in the future so this latency can come down.

I have downloaded a Non-free Deb pkg, when I tried to install it using "# dpkg -i pkgname", it appeared to install as expected. The pkg exists, I found the new directory and the executable file, but if I try to run it I get kicked out of my session, and back to GDM.
When I run "# dpkg -l pkgname", immediately after the install, I get this: "un pkgname <none> (no description available)"
Since it is not installed I can not remove it, or reconfigure it.
I run Debian Testing with Openbox as my window manager.

Most of the time whenever I run dpkg -l I get cryptic output. For instance
[Code]...
Because I normally use it to see only one file (while multiple files are possible as well), was wondering if there was a way to tell dpkg to show couple of lines as output. I do see that there is a /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg file as well as /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d directory as well. Looking forward to info. on the same.

I am downgrading one of my Sid boxes to Testing. I've finished the install and now duplicating the system for installed packages.
Before I started, to get a list of installed packages
Code: Select allsudo dpkg --get-selections > package.txt
Now when I try to duplicate the installed packages
Code: Select all sudo dpkg --set-selections < package.txt
I receive over 1000 lines with the message:
Code: Select alldpkg: warning: package not in database at line wxyz
I did try
Code: Select all dpkg --configure -a
without any effect.
Is this just a diffence between the Sid package database and the Testing database?

I'm attempting to install Debian (Stable) from a business net install disc. The problem? I can't load/install the packages I need to connect to my USB 3G modem. When I load up a shell (tty2?), I'm brought to an 'ash' prompt, and there's no DPKG for me to load the necessary packages.
how I can do a total net install, including the base, from an USB 3G modem? Actually, I'm very surprised that current Linux distros don't seem to include support, for this growing market share type of internet connection.

I have used Debian on this computer for over a year now. A little while back update manager stopped working. It now prompts me to update a varying number of packages (85-97), but when I try and run it I get this message:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
I'm not sure where to report this. I'm the only user of this computer. I tried running dpkg as directed, but that results in the following:
shop-amd-rebuild:/home/steve# dpkg --configure -a
Setting up linux-image-2.6.26-2-amd64 (2.6.26-26lenny1) ...
Running depmod.
Running mkinitramfs-kpkg.
[Code]....
I'd sure like to update, and not reinstall.
