Ubuntu :: Apt-Get / Aptitude Or Synaptic Error
Apr 19, 2010
I'm having problems with apt-get / aptitude / synaptic. When I run apt-get update or upgrade error i get following error message:
Reading package lists... Error!
E: Unable to seek to 18446744071846088703

I've runned apt-get clean cmd, but it didn't help. Pc is pretty new with 8 GB ram etc. Synaptic and aptitude gives this error when you open those.

I have Lenny with Gnome installed. Does Synaptic Package Manager use apt-get or aptitude?

Synaptic does not run. When I start it from Menu/system/administration/synaptic package manager , it asks for root password, then crashes. Nor does aptitude from the root terminal.localhost:/home/user# aptitude

Can I keep the old 32bit_testing /home with all the hidden directories there when moving to 64bit_testing?
Is there a way to export a list of all installed packages in aptitude or synaptic, so that when reinstalling, it can be easily imported? (reinstalling the same system)

I'm attempting to install some software on my friend's computer. It keeps saying the packages I want aren't there but I know they are. I've been fooling around with this for a while. I may have broken something in the process. Repository names, perhaps?Is there some way to reinstall Synaptic/Aptitude and "wipe the slate clean?"

I forced the install of graph-tool package [URL]. Now it is of course tagged as broken, so update manager wont do anything. But I want to accept it, I know it is not really broken. (In fact, graph-tool_xxx.deb asks for libcgal4. squeeze only has libcgal5, so I am betting this is not an issue, as far as graph-tool is concerned.)

I am trying to upgrade an amd64 lenny system to squeeze.I've got a 2.6.32 kernel running, done aptitude update and aptitude install aptitude.When I try "aptitude safe-upgrade", it sits forever resolving dependencies.it seems to search with the resolver counting up more and more open/conflict/ whatever.I stopped it once it got over 100,000)Is it possible to get aptitude to do a safe-upgrade, perhaps using a command line option?

New to Ubuntu not to Unix. I am having issues with aptitude updates. Gives error unable to locate. When I look for the file manually I cannot find it either. It is looking for http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Translation-en_US. Is there a site that list all mirrors that carry the updates? I would like to find manually and adjust source.list file.

Im trying to update the system packages list by doing "aptitude update", but I got a error like this:
W: Failed to fetch http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualb ... 4/Packages: Hash Sum mismatch
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
E: Couldn't rebuild package cache
After searching the Web, I saw that many foruns seems to suggest to erase the reference list of packages using the command " rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/" and then run "aptitude update" again. I did that but the error still pops up.
My source.list:
### Debian Jessie
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free

From four days each time I reload Synaptic, I got the following error:
Code:
W: Failed to fetch [URL]. Could not resolve 'repository.cairo-dock.org'
W: Failed to fetch [URL]. Could not resolve 'repository.cairo-dock.org'
W: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
I can not understand what is it. Is it a temporary network problem? What I have to do?

I'm sure I'm not the first to have encountered a problem with synaptic when I tried to load it up to install a new bit of software (in this instance help screens for OO).However when I did I got the following error message E: Encountered a section with no Package: headerE: Problem withMergeListvar/lib/apt/lists/mirror.ox.ac.uk_sites_archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_di sts_jaunty_restricted_binary-i386_PackagesE: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
When I opened the file that had the apparent prolem < var/lib/apt/lists/mirror.ox.ac.uk_sites_archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_jaunty_restricted_binary-i386_Packages > it transpired it actually contained the html page for the router ?? which seemed wierd to me.However I have recently I changed to a new ISPSo after a bit of a search, nothing explicity had my problem, and I was a bit stumped. Then I suddenly had a thought, after reading someone else how did something similar.... I then did the following....
Code:
sudo mv /var/lib/apt/lists/mirror.ox.ac.uk_sites_archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_jaunty_restricted

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 and during my tries to free space I've removed several packages such as: openoffice, all editors, and some more packages such as players and printers drivers that I don't need and seem o.k to remove. However, after restart, the graphical interface doesn't load, I'm in the xserver, I have console but not gui. I was wondering if anyone can tell me which packages I should not remove or let me know of dependencies I need to consider when messing with packages?

This morning, Update manager downloaded and attempted to install linux kernel image and header files but failed with some sort of error. I'm trying to locate the error log for synaptic package manager. Anyway I rebooted and everything seems to work okay. Did anyone else have this problem? This is from the history:
