Re: inconstency in /var/lib/dpkg/available after fsck manual
Hi,
Thanks for the tip ! As you said /var/lib/dpkg/available looked exactly like
.../status. Apparently .../status was copied to .../available, god knows why
...
Hopefully, it looks like there's a copy generated called .../available-old. I
cp .../available-old .../available and things apparently are OK.
Does anyone understand how this could happen ? Wrong inodes ?
Cheers,
E.
