Ubuntu Installation :: Package Installer - Error No "update Manager", "aptitude" Or Anything Else

Sep 29, 2010

I've recently come across a problem concerning the Package Installer that's stoping me from installing; whenever I try to install Package Installer pops up an error stating that only one software management tool is allowed to run at once. However whenever this happens it's the only visible tool open. No "update manager", "aptitude" or anything else. I've tried looking through the list of processors, but I can't find this other mysterious management tool it's complaining about.

Software :: Force Synaptic/update Manager/aptitude To Accept A Broken Package?

Nov 9, 2010

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.)

Ubuntu Installation :: Can't Update Or Use Package Manager - Gpg Error

May 16, 2010

Code:

W: GPG error: http://archive.canonical.com karmic Release: Unknown error executing gpgv
W: GPG error: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com karmic Release: Unknown error executing gpgv
W: GPG error: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com karmic-updates Release: Unknown error executing gpgv
W: GPG error: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com karmic-security Release: Unknown error executing gpgv
W: GPG error: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com karmic-proposed Release: Unknown error executing gpgv

Along with the standard messages, apt-get displayed

Code:

gpg: symbol lookup error: /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so.6: undefined symbol: PC This occurs on using the update manager, package manager, apt-get update, etc. Any ideas? I've tried deleting the cached files, changing my server, checking that my date & time are correct (signing can be time sensitive), updating gpg (it was already at the latest), and maybe some other things I've forgotten.

Ubuntu Installation :: Update Manager - Error "Could Not Initialize The Package Information"

May 20, 2011

I am running 11.04 on an HP tx2 laptop. I have been able to perform updates until the last one. Then I get the following message when I try to use update manager or terminal to get updates or just to generally install a new program. Could not initialize the package information An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information. Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message: E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, Eroblem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.egr.msu.edu_pub_ubuntu_archive_dists_natty-updates_main_i18n_Translation-en, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.'

I performed the update from 10.10 online so I don't have the cd nor will I be able to download it. Not enough time to do so.

Ubuntu Installation :: Update Manager / Software Sources / Synaptic Package Manager Not Working?

Sep 30, 2010

It started with Update Manager constantly recycling and not updating. When it starts it shows 295 files and 308MB waiting to download. When I click on 'Install Updates' it appears to go through the process, and then presents me with the same 'waiting to install' window again - and again, and again - in fact as many times as I care to click the 'Install Updates' button. No error messages appear. The 'Settings' button produces the same apparent process as the 'Install Updates' button, but doesn't present me with any other screen.

I've tried all the solutions I could find on these forums and nothing works. The sudo suggestions for Terminal usually produce error codes. adjusting a line in the 'hosts' file. When I tried this I was presented with the obstacle of not having access to the read-only file, and no matter how much I searched I couldn't find how to gain access . While investigating all these possible solutions, I was directed in turn to the Software Sources and Synaptic Package Manager applications, but when I attempted to start them, 'Starting Administrative Application' appeared briefly on the taskbar - and then disappeared!

Fedora Installation :: Package Installer Error - Apps Security Sensitive

Mar 12, 2009

I'm logged in as root and want to run Add/Remove Software (Package Installer) but get the message telling me

Code:
Running graphical applications as a privileged user should be avoided for security reasons. Package management applications are security sensitive and therefore this application will now close.

How must I install applications? Surely the world is getting paranoid with all this hackers and viruses, because with every new version O/S, the security features gets more and more; up to the point that you can't fricken do and play around with your pc as you would.

Ubuntu Installation :: Hiding Package Updates In Update Manager

Sep 3, 2010

I have the package "xvidcap" (Screen recorder) installed in Ubuntu, the problem I have is the version I have installed is an older version and there is a newer version avaliable, but I don't want to install the newer version as this breaks some functionality regarding screen capturing e.g. audio capturing. But each time I run Update Manager the package appears in the list to be upgraded.

Is there anyway to flag the package as do not upgrade or something to make it not appear in Update Manager or at least have it greyed out so the checkbox isn't automatically checked each time update manager is ran?
