Ubuntu :: Package Lists Or Status File Could Not Be Parsed?
Jul 22, 2011
I have not ran into this before. I did a new install of 10,04 and was adding programs. Then software center and Synaptic stopped working. error message said it was most likely due to unmet dependencies. I googled fixs which most all ran some sort of "apt-get" command. I can't run those because as soon as it gets to "Reading package lists", I get this error.Read error - read (5: Input/output error)The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened

Looks like my package manager was severely screwed. Any package manager-related command I try to run results in the following message in the console:
Code:
E: Read error - read (5: Input/output error)
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
Anything - aptitude, apt-get.
I removed all my sources.lists, I tried running apt-cache clean It didn't help. This is really serious. Not only am I unable to do anything with packages (update, remove, install), but the machine is really slow because of this.

This happened completely randomly. One day, my synaptic and update manager is working fine and the next day, I open one of them and get a error window that doesn't say anything (no details on the error). So, i tried the terminal, sudo apt-get update, and this message shows:
Reading package lists... Error!
E: Problem parsing dependency Depends

I'm running ubuntu 9.04 and was happy because I finally got the screen resolution to be a good size, but now I can't update anything or even upgrade ubuntu.The message I get is
Quote:
Could Not Initialize Package Information
An unresolvable problem occured while initializing the package information.Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message:
'E:Unable to parse package file /var/lib/dpkg/status (1), E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.'
I've also had issues with installing new programs (specifically tried Boxee (64bit ver) and Last.fm Scrobbler), but was thinking these issues might be related to the updage-manager error.

I remember seeing a thread a while back in which it was stated and a way given to defrag or compress the database that is read before any install is done (forgot the name of the database or where said files are located), but I was wondering if anyone remembers this or has the script that did the defraging available. It made the "reading database" portion of an install zip through rather quickly especially helpful if you have quite a bit installed.

Is there any utility that can provide a list of all files, and both the file size and md5 hash value. Preferably also including other hash values.I've got 1.5 TB of files to go through, and delete duplicates..Neither fdupes or fslint are up to the task --- both claim files to be duplicates, when they definately are not. (Movies, and OOo documents are not identical, even if one is the script for the other, which in this case is not the case. Both fdupes and fslint claimed that those two files were identical. (And yes, I did look at them.

I have an internal hard drive and an external hard drive, both with about 350 GB of data. The data came from the same source, but over the last couple of years, different people have moved files around to different directories, and some files have been deleted. Now I want to merge all the files onto the internal hard drive. I estimate that 80% of the files on the external hard drive are the same, so I don't want to copy 290+ GB of data over when I already have it.
Therefore, I need a way to find just the files on the external hard drive that don't already exist on the internal one. In other words, I need to create two lists of file names irrespective of directories and compare them, selecting only the file names that exist in one list OR the other. I've Googled for solutions but can't find anything suitable. There are ways to create text files of the file names and compare them with diff, but they have to be in the same order, and since these files are in vastly different directories, that won't work.

when I try to apt-get upgrade system or install a new package in synaptic or terminal, I see this:
Code:
dpkg: ../../../lib/dpkg/dump.c:250: w_status: Assertion `pigp->trigpend_head' failed.
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg exited unexpectedly
So, before I have a problem - Synaptic opened, told that /var/lib/dpkg/status don't exist, in the web I read that sudo cp /var/lib/dpkg/status-old /var/lib/dpkg/

I need to get names of all installed packages in 2 machines and save them in 2 text files, then I want to compare these 2 files to know the differences between 2 files and from that I could know the differences between 2 machines. Is it possible to do that and what program I could use?

Looks to me like we're a baby-step behind Windows in not having GUI wrappers or frontends for the steganography (?) binaries I mentioned above. Or have my searches just not turned up the obvious GNOME solution?
Also, can someone tell me exactly what image file format works in login screen face lists, in place of the "generic user" icon one? And is there a command-line workaround to get unique ones assigned per-user? The "Login Window" utility in Ubuntu 9.10 seems a bit insistent on using the same image and path to images for all user icons -- hardly a user-friendly way of making user A's identifying icon different from user B's.

Firstly i'd like to introduce myself before I ask my question, i am currently studying a "Network Operating System 2" course, and in the syllabus the professor decided to use Ubuntu Linux for us. This is a first for me and I am truly greatly interested in the OS. It seems like a solid system once you get to know the deep foundations of it. The professor has already given us an assignment, but I feel its not fair as its just a bit too much from out of what he taught us .. He did not teach us what he is asking for. He asked us to create to a text file which lists the Sales from two Salespersons, and each one will have an amount for each month .. So 12 entries for each salesperson.
Using that text file, we should write a bash script which would read the values from the above text file, and produce a "Monthly Sales" text file, which shows the total sales of each month (combined from both the salespersons). I would like to ask for some guidance, some help on how to start. It's just that he didn't teach us any commands about this matter.

Still I am asked to package a war file as an RPM package. That is an unusual RPM packaging(To me). If you guys could guide me I have a war file inside a folder, that folder is inside a tar file as a SOURCE for RPM package. The structure is like below.
[Code]...
I simply want that the war file from sources is transferred to the web app of my tomcat server through RPM. I try to package it as an RPM, but its always giving me errors in %build stage. When I try to remove %build from stage from the spec file, then it says command missing.
My system details are:
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (x86_64)
VERSION = 10
PATCHLEVEL = 1
LSB_VERSION="core-2.0-noarch:core-3.0-noarch:core-2.0-x86_64:core-3.0-x86_64"
