Hi, Running a fairly new i386 Sid install, nothing special in sources.list - for the last week or so, "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" dies with:
E: Method has died unexpectedly!E: Sub-process returned an error code (100)E: Method /usr/lib/apt/methods/ did not start correctlyFailed to exec method /usr/lib/apt/methods/E: Method has died unexpectedly!E: Sub-process returned an error code (100)E: Method /usr/lib/apt/methods/ did not start correctlyE: Internal error: couldn't generate list of packages to download >From googling, it seems there were errors like this reported a year or so ago related to the old "volatile" archive, but I don't use that. Here's my /etc/apt/sources.list: # # deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.2.1 _Squeeze_ - Official i386 NETINST Binary-1 20110628-13:01]/ squeeze main #deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.2.1 _Squeeze_ - Official i386 NETINST Binary-1 20110628-13:01]/ squeeze main deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main deb-src http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main # squeeze-updates, previously known as 'volatile' #deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main #deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main Any thoughts? In response to some searching, I've tried "sudo dpkg-reconfigure apt" and "sudo apt-get install --reinstall apt", with no effect.
