First things first: Check if you've fried /var/lib/dpkg/status. I think you should also cp -Rpv /var/lib/dpkg ~/var-lib-dpkg-backup It's around 50M for me. BTW, think twice before restoring, esp. if you've added/removed packages! If I remember correctly, apt first pulls the WHOLE package database to memory. Just push up the limits; with enough RAM available, it should work. [And Sumeet, on a personal note, please try not to do this with KDE maxed out on eyecandy ;-) Try to do this without a GUI. Or maybe in Fluxbox.] > Could someone tell me how to work around this error? I'm at a loss to get > this to work. Create /etc/apt/apt.conf if doesn't exist. Put in the following: APT::Cache-Limit ; is the upper limit in bytes that apt will try to allocate and use.

[PLUG] Modifying the output of 'ls'
What I am trying to do is something like this: For a file, say named 'config', I want to have 2 names for it ,say 'config' and 'donfig'. So when I do an 'ls' on that directory, I should be able to see 2 files 'config' and 'donfig' $ ls config donfig $ I DO NOT have the liberty of using symlinks. Other changes in the open syscall to handle 'donfig' as a name will be done later. Rite now I just want the above mentioned directory listing. To achieve, I have hooked the getdents64 syscall. The algorithm for my getdents64 routine is as follows: 1) Call the original getdents64 2) Make a copy the dirent entry of 'config' and in that replace the name 'config' with 'donfig'; keeping other things the same. But as you might have guessed correctly, this does not work :(( If I do not change the name to 'donfig', I do see 2 entries for 'config'. But if change any character of the name, the entry is not seen in the output. Is there any checksum or anything similar involved?
