Hi Shirish, Let's see. What I meat was that:
1) Just erased by command line all what was copied in the cache directory (or moved all that stuff somewhere else). 2) Retried the command that was causing me troubles. 3) After failing, nevertheless, I saw that on the caché directory there were only files related to the stuff I was trying to install. Which seemed to be there because the last (failed) install copied them. Your problem seems to be another thing by now: dpkg: unable to access dpkg status area: Read-only file system Don't know for sure, maybe some lock was kept inappropriately (canceled some process?) or some "read-only" configuration is being used (be it a CD-ROM or because a "safe boot" mode). I just searched a little, look at this http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/gui-in-kubuntu-hardy-broken-after-upgrade-633548/ https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/57124 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=179575 http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-635768.html Good luck with that. -- coreutils and debianutils dependency cycle on reinstall command https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124895 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
