Total newbie question that I couldn't find answered in the FAQ or archives:
I have a problem with my /sw/var/lib/dpkg/status file - one package doesn't have a version after a failed installation. I've tried reinstalling, removing, and purging the offending package, all to no avail. /sw/var/lib/dpkg/status-old contains the same lines that I'm having trouble with, so I can't revert to it. Seems I need to edit my /sw/var/lib/dpkg/status file... But I can't save files in /sw/var/lib/dpkg/ with TextEdit.app because I don't have permission. What's the best way to edit /sw/var/lib/dpkg/status? Thanks, Troy ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
