The first few links seaching with 'Unable to increase the size of the
MMap as the limit' look useful. I wonder if 'apt-get autoclean' or
'apt-get clean' might restore normality.
Thanks!
I rebooted the compuetr, and as the first thing to do when up did as you proposed.
Here is the result:
kjetil@kjetil:~$ apt-get clean
E: Could not open lock file /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the download directory
kjetil@kjetil:~$ apt-get autoclean
E: Could not open lock file /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the download directory
kjetil@kjetil:~$
and something strange: apt-get did _not_ ask for my password! ¿Why?
