Plan of action?
I always get these:
-Reading package lists... Error!
- when trying to install through Terminal.
And my Software Center doesnt work.
I have encounter this problem, one thing i had done is, increase the cache size. But still this problem occur. adibmobile@empatbelas:~$ sudo apt-get check Reading package lists.Error!

I get an error when trying to run update manager or Synaptic - same thing from Ubuntu Tweak as well. I also tried to update via terminal

I have Ubuntu 11.0 installed.It is giving following error during update:
'E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, Eroblem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca_ubuntu_dists_natty_main _binary-i386_Packages, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.'
i cant update or install anything. i have started update manager and i got an error. then i tried to update through terminal and got this:
[code]...
way of fixing 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: 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.
i have ubuntu karmic 9.10 and when i try to update anything or install anything the a very similar error occurs."(Reading database . . . 55%dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error , aborting: files list file for package `com.palm.net.precoddr.fcoaster' contains empty filenameit repeats this message 3 times then gives up i believe.

* -> operation not permitted on some of the files
I am trying to install a library. Sudo make is getting permission denied on file 1, while using regular make I am getting permission denied on file 2. I have noticed some of the directories in the library are under nobody:nogroup. I tried chown and sudo chown, both didn't work. Sudo chown got permission errors, while chown didn't change ALL the files. (operation not permitted once again) Tried sudo su, and working from there, that also did not work. (permission once again). Using lsattr returned "lsattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device While reading flags on".

I just got this error message when Update Manager tried updating:

I've been using Ubuntu for awhile, so I know my way around some stuff, but I'm completely lost on what to do here.
Recently sudo apt-get update (and all other apt-get commands) has resulted in the error:

I still seem to be able to install/update from update manager and synaptic, but I rely on command line for apt-get update when I'm not at uni (which runs through a proxy).
Is it the same thing? since i dont like terminal and if its the same thing its better, also does ubuntu auto reload the repository updates? is there a reason to run thes commands?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedA day ago I finally got around to upgrading the PackageKit installation that had been sitting for a week and a half, so I found a new upgrade for sudo available - the one that gives the sudoreplay command, I forget which version number it is exactly. When I try to use the sudo command I get this notice in my terminal:Code:Can't open /var/db/sudo/me/1: Permission deniedI didn't get it before. What do I have to do to make it open? I'm using SELinux in enforcing mode if that helps.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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
