Um, fsck did what? Did it simply optimise directories - or did the file system need repairing? Did it test the ability of the drive to retain data - find some sections where failing and add them to the list of bad sectors? If it was the last option - then the cause of the apt database error may be due to a failing hard drive - in which case abandon the hard drive. But if checking with fsck (and SMART) doesn't show a failing hard drive - then the database simply needs rebuilding. > > root@debian # dpkg -l | grep aptitude > root@debian # apt-get install aptitude <snipped and translated> Reading package lists ...

I'm not sure why you are trying to install/remove apt, when you already have it installed, and the original problem was being unable to install *scons* The progam "apt" is installed, and appears to work properly - the information it gives you when you asked it to install scons, was wrong. > > Christian. > ___________________________________________________________ Cheers -- Tuttle?
