Hi all, I was running Lenny testing version.. Just yesterday, i have upgraded it to Lenny stable.
But, during the upgrade process, error occurs and now i am not able to use apt-get.. It always returns the "E:dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem" error. I do not remember the error during the upgrade procedure. Following is the steps i had done to upgrade 1. source.list deb http://ftp.iitm.ac.in/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.iitm.ac.in/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free 2. apt-get update --no error 3. apt-get dist-upgrade --error and exit 4. apt-cache search <any package> --no error 5. apt-get install <any package> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. 6. i have run 'dpkg --configure -a' as root it gives the following long error What had gone wrong and How can i fix this problem? any suggestion is appreciated.. Thanks in advance, -ranbir -----------------Error message-------------- Setting up exim4-config (4.69-9) ... /usr/sbin/update-exim4defaults: line 79: getopt: command not found Terminating... dpkg: error processing exim4-config (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Setting up initramfs-tools (0.92b) ... update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated) Setting up nfs-common (1:1.1.2-4) ... /usr/bin/ucf: line 284: getopt: command not found dpkg: error processing nfs-common (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 127 Setting up texinfo (4.11.dfsg.1-4) ... /usr/sbin/update-fmtutil: line 470: getopt: command not found dpkg: error processing texinfo (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 127 Setting up tetex-base (2007-14) ... /usr/bin/ucf: line 284: getopt: command not found dpkg: error processing tetex-base (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 127 Setting up gconf2-common (2.22.0-1) ... /usr/bin/ucf: line 284: getopt: command not found dpkg: error processing gconf2-common (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 127 Setting up php5-cgi (5.2.6.dfsg.1-1+lenny2) ... /usr/bin/ucf: line 284: getopt: command not found dpkg: error processing php5-cgi (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 127 Setting up samba-common (2:3.2.5-1) ... /usr/bin/ucf: line 284: getopt: command not found dpkg: error processing samba-common (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 127 dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of nfs-kernel-server: nfs-kernel-server depends on nfs-common (>= 1:1.0.8-1); however: Package nfs-common is not configured yet. dpkg: error processing nfs-kernel-server (--configure): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of smbclient: smbclient depends on samba-common (= 2:3.2.5-1); however: Package samba-common is not configured yet. dpkg: error processing smbclient (--configure): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Setting up libsensors3 (1:2.10.7-1) ... udev active, devices will be created in /dev/.static/dev/ /usr/bin/ucf: line 284: getopt: command not found dpkg: error processing libsensors3 (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 127 Setting up libpaper1 (1.1.23+nmu1) ... /usr/bin/ucf: line 284: getopt: command not found dpkg: error processing libpaper1 (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 127 Setting up linux-image-2.6.22-3-686 (2.6.22-6.lenny1) ...
