Ubuntu Installation :: Dpkg Errors After Updgrade To Maverick
Nov 15, 2010
I am experiencing the same issue, with the same package, as the user from this "solved" thread.URL...My question comes as this... the fix was to change the package name to one without underscores in it. The underscores were changed to tildas. What I don't understand is where I make those changes.Crisnoh said that he tried commenting the package out of the 'file' but that didn't work. However, changing the file name to tildas did... so which file am I supposed to be editing to change these underscores to tildas?

I upgraded to 11.04, but the updgrade crashed, and now it has some errors with Unity crashing every time I open a terminal. Is there any way to re-install without having to reconfigure all my programs? I am running a dual-boot.

I'm running 9.10 on a Dell IM1012-6780BK netbook (very nice and snappy, btw). I was in the process of installing the ubuntu-restricted packages (apt-get was halfway into setting-up libtwolame0) when the machine locked up and I was forced to do a hard reboot. Now, at the CLI, I try to remove the corrupted package before re-installing, but I get the following errors: (they seem to be persistent, no matter what I'm trying to install/uninstall via apt-get...$ sudo apt-get --purge remove ubuntu-restricted-extras

I am dual-booting with Windoze XP and just this week notice 2 new ubuntu kernel lines in grub when my computer boots.
Not too sure what to do now - it seems I can't install or remove anything. Also, update manager does not work.

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?

Well, I was just doing an update, and there was an update for git that was held back. I decided to force this update using 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade', and installation of git then failed. At this point in Synaptic - I could see versions listed as 'lucid', 'lucid-security', and then this ppa version. Then I barely managed to remove git - but now, if I try to install it again, *only* the ppa version is listed in Synaptic - no more 'lucid' and 'lucid-security' versions!!! Does anyone have an idea how I could recover the 'lucid', 'lucid-security' versions? I will try to salvage as much of the terminal with the problems as I can below...

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 need a video driver for SIS M760GX for an ACER Aspire 5000 laptop.
Everywhere I've looked it says to run
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
Supposedly, this is supposed to open a window where I can change settings. However it does nothing and just returns me to the prompt.

I am running Lucid 32-bit server P3 command line server version that began life as a 9.10-server, now upgraded to 10.04. Upgrade has been running since June, 2010. A few weeks ago, I realized that phpldapadmin was not running correctly. In finding the solution for the phpldapadmin issue, now, upgrades are giving me the following:
Code:
admin@myserver:/$ sudo apt-get update[sudo] password for administrator:

I have read many posts trying to find a reference to
Code:
dpkg: error processing grub-pc (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 10
because this started with grub-pc being the first and only package that refused to install. I have yet to find a direct reference to 'error exit status 10'. I find many other status codes, but few of 'status 10'.
Now, unfortunately, work took me away for a few of weeks and now I am getting errors for:
grub-pc
samba-common
samba-common-bin
smbclient
smbfs
I have tried
Code:
apt-get -f install
and that does work.
I have tried
Code:
apt-get purge grub-pc
and then re-installing grub-pc still gives same error.
And finally there are many other attempts, all with the same result.

sudo rm -r /tmp/*
now, when I try:
sudo dpkg --configure -a
i get: dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0006' near line 0: newline in field name `#padding'

I recently upgraded from Maverick to Natty. The upgrade process went fine and I am able to log in to Natty and use my computer fine.
However, during the installation there was an error upgrading likewise-open from 5.0.xx to 6.0.xx. I thought perhaps removing likewise-open 5.0.xx and installing 6.0.xx (instead of upgrading) may fix the problem.
This what I get:

Thought I could just place a hard drive with a preloaded Ubuntu install from another machine (a loaner machine) into this one; change a few drivers and be on my way. Too many errors to count. ALSA; Jack; LiveTex all cratered and I'm tired of fighting this. I've spent more than two days trying to get stuff working and if there's anything I've learned from years of experience there's a time to cut bait and run.
A clean install on the actual hardware I'm using has to be better than the hodge podge I have now.What I would like from the community is recommendations for what to do AFTER the install.
1) where can I find the most up-to-date comprehensive and exhaustive list of repositories for the Synaptic Package Manager?
2) I like to do sound and video processing. I would like to have the program applications
Qsynth, Virtual Midi Keyboard, Muse Score, Csound, GNU Denemo, and many others that either fail to start or produce no sound to work. What, besides the programs need to be loaded in order to make these work?
3) A helpful list of recommendations on what to install along with order preference. In other words 'this needs to be done before this...' on a new Ubuntu install.
In case anyone's interested: Here's a small list of some of the errors I currently have.
AlsaModularSynth - Could not open file.Qsynth1 - Failed to create the audio driver (jack) / Jack server not running.
Errors were encountered while processing:
texlive-latex-base-doc
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Qtractor - The audio/MIDI engine could not be started. Make sure the JACK audio server (jackd) and/or the ALSA Sequencer kernel module (snd-seq-midi) are up and running and then restart the session.
apt-get install alsa-utils - Errors were encountered while processing:
texlive-latex-base-doc
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Jack configuration files not found; the list is endless. Plus many errors trying to get texlive to work.
