I'm getting a cache initialization error which is not allowing me to use apt-get or any of the package tools unless my source lists only have local entries. I tried doing apt-cache gencaches but that didn't work. After reading the man pages I can't seem to find a hint as how to fix this. Does anyone have any clues?
apt-get update just reports W: Couldn't stat source package list... I have a dump of the cache as well as a "check". The dump looks ok but here is the first few lines of apt-cache check: Bad section libpaperg Bad prio libpaperg,1.0.3-13.potato1 == 0 Bad section pnmtopng Bad prio pnmtopng,2.37.4-1 == 0 Bad section xcdroast Bad prio xcdroast,0.96e-3 == 0 I haven't really done anything different to this machine other that trying to get a remote printer to work. TIA, Jesse p.s. please cc me I'm currently off-list
