Package: apt Version: 0.9.11.4 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
after a failed upgrade system was in bad shape, trying to upgrade kept giving me "could not lock the cache file". even after quite a while on google i could not find what this 'cache file' was supposed to be. given the threads i ran into i think it would be rather useful to actually tell us what where to find this cache file :) -- Package-specific info: -- (no /etc/apt/preferences present) -- -- /etc/apt/sources.list -- # # deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 r0 _Etch_ - Official i386 NETINST Binary-1 20070407-11:29]/ etch contrib main #deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 r0 _Etch_ - Official i386 NETINST Binary-1 20070407-11:29]/ etch contrib main #deb http://ftp.debian.nl/debian/ testing main deb http://ftp.debian.de/debian/ testing main contrib non-free #deb-src http://ftp.debian.nl/debian/ testing main deb-src http://ftp.debian.de/debian/ testing main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib deb-src http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib #fuckingclamav #deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile testing/volatile main contrib non-free -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.9-1-686-pae (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages apt depends on: ii debian-archive-keyring 2012.4 ii gnupg 1.4.15-1.1 ii libapt-pkg4.12 0.9.11.4 ii libc6 2.17-93 ii libgcc1 1:4.8.1-10 ii libstdc++6 4.8.1-10 apt recommends no packages.
