Ouch Don't!

These are configuration files. If you want to clear this directory then
copy these files to another location and remove them from this directory.

Re: [SLUG] Fixing broken apt-get on Zentyal (Ubuntu)

2015-02-10 Thread Amos Shapira
I'd call these configuration files, and in any case something you don't
want to just wipe out out right without a way to restore.

Why do you propose to remove them anyway? apt-get complains about an
internal error. Your original response is identical to
http://askubuntu.com/a/337795, which someone reported to work for them
without the rm -f.

I'd say - try the sudo dpkg --configure -a by itself first.

Back to the original question - google'ing the error comes up with threads
which indicate post-upgrade troubles. Have you gone through a major upgrade
recently?

 The sources.list.d directory is almost always PPA's the user has added.

Re: [SLUG] Fixing broken apt-get on Zentyal (Ubuntu)

2015-02-10 Thread David Lyon
Ah see this is how it got like this.

Search how to fix   type all those commands in without understanding
any of it.. ok - doesn't work... move to the next web page... repeat..

Anyway, they don't want to pay for time to do a fresh install. It's almost
a management decision to allow a reboot.

Installing packages manually works, but no automatic download and install
anymore.

The problem was initially caused by a Zentyal specific library failing
(suricata). Not worth fixing.

Thanks .. :-)

Why are you suggesting the user _blindly_ wipe the sources.list.d directory?

That is irresponsible at best.

Sometimes third-party software (Google Chrome is the most popular, but others 
do it too) install their 'deb' lines into sources.list.d too, so by wiping that 
directory blindly you're potentially missing out on vital security updates.

[SLUG] Fixing broken apt-get on Zentyal (Ubuntu)

apt-get is for some reason broken.

  Can you reproduce it in Firefox or any other browser? Or is it just
 Chrome?
 Do you delete cookies when you close Chrome?


  Thanks Scott,
 Unfortunately, Firefox locks up on my system since I updated to 14.04.
 That is why I switched to Chrome.
 I'll try wiping the cookies.

Absolutely sure. I've noticed it happens only to certain videos. Some 
work fine - not sure why.
