jacques -----Message d'origine----- De : Peter Christensen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Envoyé : lundi 24 septembre 2001 23:49 À : debian user Objet : apt-get interrupted, file locked I think I'm making progress! I tried apt-get (as suggested by Dman and Karsten). I ran : apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade After about two hours I lost my internet connection (not uncommon for me) and when I tried to get things going again I got the following messages: Could not open lockfile /var/cache/apt/lock, open (13 permission denied) Couldn't lock the cache dir, /var/cache/apt, another process is using it Is this fixable? What should I do if I lose the connection next time?
