Whenever trying to apt-get install any packages, I now get:
E: Sub-process /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt exited unexpectedly
E: Failure running script /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt
This happened when I was installing the lynx package. Any help
much appreciated, using frozen recent within the last hour.
The dpkg-preconfigure manpage says that the default priority
can be permanently changed by:
dpkg-reconfigure --priority=medium debconf
I type that at the command line and get:
newport:/home/mark# dpkg-reconfigure --priority=medium debconf
Illegal instruction
newport:/home/mark#
Hopefully someday dpkg-reconfigure will get a little more verbose...
