Eddy, Benjamin Looks like we have a problem :) I bet that both of you upgraded several packages on unstable in the last few days - as I did - (or did do you that on a stable or testing system?) - If not, lease let me know. In order to narrow down which package might be the offending one you could do the following: *** 1: ls -lt -c /var/lib/dpkg/info/ | grep list | cut -c 30- > update.txt This should give you lines like this in 'update.txt': Oct 12 20:36 hdparm.list If not, change '30-' to a different value. Now put 'update.txt into an editor, remove the *complete* lines with the older packages, installed/upgraded/removed(?)/ at a time which seems irrelevant to the bug. Don't change anything else on the file. *** 2: Save the changed file. *** 3: Run this command on the changed file: cut -c 14- update.txt | less You should find something like this: hdparm.list *** 4: If too much is cut in #3, change '14-' accordingly .. If you find the output in #3 usable, save it with a usable '-c' value: like: cut -c 14- update.txt > cut.update.txt *** 5 Put the list of the installed packages I posted in my first mail [the one I created with 'ls -lt -c /var/lib/dpkg/info/ | grep list > update.list'] into an editor, save it, cut it with a command like "cut -c 25- update.list | less" .. change '25' to to a better value if the result is unusable. And then save the output into a new file. *** 6: Run a diff between your own list from #4 and mine from #5, with options that find ¯identical¯ packages ("expressions") ... That way we might be able to find the package causing the error. Write here about what you find. And, if you like: Post 'update.txt' from #1 here. Or, if your memory is better than mine (should be very easy :) simply have a look at the output from #1 and compare it with the packages installed here (.. reading my first mail in this thread for this) Please be aware of the fact that my scripting capabilities are those of a casual user of such routines. ... So don't complain if your refrigerator starts like jumping up and down after running the commands above ... :) And yes: Anyone with better ideas, to save us cumbersome procedures like the ones above is extremely welcome ...
