That should be sort of a local problem,

Did you check all the logs? I guess there must be some other anomalies than just
these problems with apt - and your system being read-only is very very strange
(and probably one of the causes of this problem).

Hi,
on linux-fai-devel I've initiated a discussion of a new new disk configuration
utility. You can find the thread at
http://www.uni-koeln.de/bin2/maillist/linux-fai-devel/20060429.151232/171697
if you aren't subscribed to linux-fai-devel. Any input is highly appreciated!
Cheers,
Michael
