Hi i fucked up my packaging system yesterday (running sid) What happened is : i was updating my packages with dselect while whatching teevee through my wintv card and as it always does if im having HD activity at the same time (a lot moving some files in lan at the same time too=( ) it crashed -ZAP- ok after resetting i tryed running dselect again updating it bails out with following errors:
-snip- Preconfiguring packages ... (Reading database ... dpkg: error processing rcs (--purge): files list file for package `rcs' contains empty filename Errors were encountered while processing: rcs Processing was halted because there were too many errors. localepurge: processing locale files ... localepurge: processing man pages ... E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) Some errors occurred while unpacking. I'm going to configure the packages that were installed. This may result in duplicate errors or errors caused by missing dependencies. This is OK, only the errors above this message are important. Please fix them and run [I]nstall again Press enter to continue.

Press <enter> to continue. -snip- Now the thing is that i tryed removing , installing , reinstalling , forcing (apt-get) and many more things always with the same error the message : files list file for package `rcs' contains empty filename I checked that bitch and yep its empty but hey! this is only one little file argh! can i get that from someone? Or what else can i do to reinstall that "rcs" and putting it to healthy state? Thing is that tthat package keeps me from updating anything (i got 24 packages pending) Thanx for hints Florian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
