Just do (as root, of course): mkdir /var/cache/apt/archives/partial chmod 755 /var/cache/apt/archives/partial touch /var/cache/apt/archives/lock chmod 640 /var/cache/apt/archives/lock (You may not need to re-create the lock file, as apt-get will probably do it.) In any case, you can use the following commands to clean out your cache (in the future): apt-get clean apt-get autoclean (my preferred way, only deletes old debs) rm /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/*.deb HTH, Ian
