If apt-get works, it's probably not really an UML related question. Anyhow, i run a few etch uml's and aptitude runs fine. I would try to clear the cache of aptitude and see if that helps. You might want to exit the uml and check the files consistency. If ext3 for example: e2fsck -f root_fs Also use the latest version of aptitude for Lenny but this is probably the case already. Last, you can try to remove aptitude and then reinstall it. apt-get --purge remove aptitude apt-get install aptitude Try and let us know if it works Regards, Benedict ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ User-mode-linux-user mailing list User-mode-linux-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/user-mode-linux-user
