Hi folks. In spite of best intentions I experienced corruption of a Reiserfs partition. This was particularly noticable while running 'apt-get dist-upgrade' on a woody system. To put it briefly apt couldn't remove certain files during install and halted at the point. I rebuilt the filesystem tree which fixed the file deletion problem. However, I have been unable to install later packages, particularly slib and any dependent packages.
I've tried 'apt-get -f install slib' and the following occurs... Any assistance appreciated. Cheers, Matt. ------------------------- Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following NEW packages will be installed: slib 0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 78 not upgraded. Need to get 0B/504kB of archives. After unpacking 2287kB will be used.
