Will,
Thanks for the reply.
I tried your suggestions but I am still having problems. I can't seem to
install any of the problematic packages either manually or with apt-get.
They fail when configuration begins. I am also unable to remove the
offending packages with dpkg -r or --purge. I keep getting the following
error message
Selecting previously deselected package dotfile-rtin.
(Reading database ... dpkg: error processing dotfile-rtin_0.02-5.1.deb
(--install):
files list file for package `dotfile-rtin' is truncated
Errors were encountered while processing:
dotfile-rtin_0.02-5.1.deb
Processing was halted because there were too many errors.
How can I get rid of these files and start fresh? Do you know where this
files list file is located?
These little problems are keeping me from running apt-get at all.
Thanks again for your help
