Hi Can anyone give me a clue about sorting this one out ?
Decided to download Debian the latest version to my experimental machine. �The one that gets all the rough treatment. The version that was installed was the stable version of 3.0 r0. � Changed the apt-get sources lists line to... deb ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib Then I did 'apt-get dist upgrade'. �It grabbed all the packages [470Mb] and started to install them. �Everything was fine until it got down to joe_2.8-23_i386.deb whereupon it barfed and died. �Tried 'apt-get upgrade -f' and the following error message comes up on the screen after Joe refuses to install... " Unpacking replacement Joe... /var/lib/dpkg/info/joe.potrm: line 3: /usr/bin/update-menus: Permission denied dpkg: warning - old post-removal script returned error exit status 1 dpkg - trying script from the new package instead ... /var/lib/dpkgtmp.ci/postrm: line 3: /usr/bin/update-menus: Permission denied dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/joe_2.8-23_i386.deb (--unpack) subprocess new post-removal script returned error exit status 1 /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/postrm: line 3: /usr/bin/update-menus: Permission denied dpkg: error while cleaning up: subprocess new post-removal script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/joe_2.8-23_i386.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned and error code (1) " After this 'apt-get upgrade' dies altogether thus causing the whole upgrade to die. �Can't install Joe or remove it. �Can't fix it with 'apt-get upgrade -f'. �Any other option I can try to get round this ? � As things are I can use the machine but I can't install or remove packages.
