It seems that /var/lib/dpkg/available has been corrupted. This might be the result of a problem with your hard disk, so we should probably have a closer look the entry of gtk2-engines-pixbuf. Please post the output of the following command: awk '/^Package: gtk2-engines-pixbuf/,/^$/' /var/lib/dpkg/available | head -n 100 -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
