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'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 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 keep getting the following error when the Update Manager runs.
Code:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
If I open up a terminal and run sudo dpkg --configure -a I then get the following error.
Code:
dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0002' near line 1:
newline in field name `
How to fix this as I can't install any updates.

I have used Debian on this computer for over a year now. A little while back update manager stopped working. It now prompts me to update a varying number of packages (85-97), but when I try and run it I get this message:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
I'm not sure where to report this. I'm the only user of this computer. I tried running dpkg as directed, but that results in the following:
shop-amd-rebuild:/home/steve# dpkg --configure -a
Setting up linux-image-2.6.26-2-amd64 (2.6.26-26lenny1) ...
Running depmod.
Running mkinitramfs-kpkg.
[Code]....
I'd sure like to update, and not reinstall.

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?

I just got my hands on a IBM Thinkpad T40 with a broken M$ WinXP. I used one of my old Kubuntu Intrepid LiveCDs. When I entered Virtual Console 1, I discovered that the kernel spams my session with errors, forcing me to use KDE Konsole. Later, I discovered that the LiveCD does not install due to read errors, and decided to install LFS. LFS still has that problem, which prevents me from directly booting into it (I don't have X yet, and I can't do a lot on the console with my display getting spammed),

I un-installed all packages that I downloaded and removed all references to the attempted kernel and I thought it was over. Today I tried to install xubuntu-desktop and the install exits with a dpkg errros that refers to that old custom kernel attempt. I run dpkg as instructed (see below):

I cannot run apt-get until I try to figure out where this error is.
