Problemi con APT

[foggy]

Per farla breve, il problema e' questo:

# apt-get update
... tutto fila liscio
# apt-get upgrade
Reading Package Lists... Done
E: Read error - read (21 Is a directory)

stessa cosa se provo con i comandi

# apt-get dist-upgrade
# apt-get install nomeprogramma

Eppure sembrerebbe tutto ok

# dpkg --status apt

Ho provato anche ad installare nuove e vecchie versioni di apt (stable/testing/unstable) ma il problema rimane... qualcuno mi sa aiutare? Io ci ho provato ma nemmeno google mi viene incontro questa volta

TIA

prova dpkg-reconfigure apt


apt-get --reinstall install apt aptconf

dpkg --configure -a
se hai fatto qualche settaggio ad apt rimuovilo e prova anche cambiare sources.list

[foggy]

Originariamente inviato da ANDY CAPS
prova dpkg-reconfigure apt

Ok.

# apt-get --reinstall install apt aptconf

Qui si presenta il solito messaggio di errore, praticamente l'unico comando di apt che funziona e'
# apt-get update

dpkg --configure -a
se hai fatto qualche settaggio ad apt rimuovilo e prova anche cambiare sources.list

Le uniche modifiche che ho fatto sono state ad sources.list e
/etc/apt/preferences/.preferences
inserendo le righe:
--
Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 700

Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 650

Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 600
--
Ma anche cancellando questo file apt non funziona, sempre il solito messaggio d'errore!
Ho poi dovuto aggiungere la stringa
APT::Cache-Limit "8388608";
ma tutto il resto non l'ho toccato...

[ANDY CAPS]

Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 700

Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 650

Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 600

il problema è evidente che viene da qui
cancella tutte le modifiche e il file in questione

fai un file vuoto per sources.list e riprova a fare l'update e i soliti comandi di prima magari anche un
dpkg --clear-avail

[foggy]

Ho provato a riportare tutto alla cfg originale:
--

# dpkg --clear-avail

# apt-get update

Purtroppo non e' un problema di sources.list,

[ANDY CAPS]

hai un file di configurazione con quell'errore ma non riesco a capire quale prova a rinominarli tutti e reinstallare apt con dpkg - in /var/cache/apt/archives


dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/apt_0.5.22_i386.deb
