util-linux.
Hi all.
I've still in a rut with my installation. I can't seem to get past
util-linux:
dpkg -l util-linux
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err:
uppercase=bad)
||/ Name Version Description
+++-==========================-===========
iH util-linux 2.12p-4.0.0.1.pure64 Miscellaneous system
utilities
This package is holding up everything it seems:
# dpkg -i util-linux_2.12p-7_amd64.deb
(Reading database ... 142492 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace util-linux 2.12p-4.0.0.1.pure64 (using
util-linux_2.12p-7_amd64.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement util-linux ...
dpkg: error processing util-linux_2.12p-7_amd64.deb (--install):
unable to make backup link of `./usr/share/doc/util-linux/README.poeigl.gz'
before installing new version: Too many links
Errors were encountered while processing:
util-linux_2.12p-7_amd64.deb
Can someone please post perhaps a way of force upgrading of util-linux, or
whatever solutions may be at hand?
Thanks,
Chris Wakefield.
