I have packagekit installed. This is the situation in my case: $ apt-config dump|grep Update APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1"; APT::Update ""; APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success ""; APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success:::: "touch /var/lib/apt/periodic/update-success-stamp 2>/dev/null || true"; APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success:: "/usr/bin/dbus-send --system --dest=org.freedesktop.PackageKit --type=method_call /org/freedesktop/PackageKit org.freedesktop.PackageKit.StateHasChanged string:'cache-update'";
$ dpkg-query -W packagekit packagekit 0.3.6-0ubuntu4 I have now removed packagekit and will see if the problem occurs again or not. The difficulty is though the problem occurred with me only when there was some software to update, something which happened frequently while intrepid was in development, but now will happen less often. -- E: The package cache file is corrupted E: _cache->open() failed, please report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/257639 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
