Hmmm...the only time I see that message "could not lock the cache, opening in read-only mode" is when I have left aptitude open on another terminal somewhere, or running apt-get something somewhere. Check your processes to make sure you don't have any other instances of apt/dpkg running. The only other thing I can think of is permissions on the /var/cache/apt and /var/cache/apt/archives directories which should be drwxr-xr-x for both. jc -- Jeff Coppock Systems Engineer Diggin' Debian Admin and User -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
