Bug#264974: dpkg: Package database corruption ?
Package: dpkg
Version: 1.10.23
Severity: important
Altho i've updated the package lists (both in dselect and with apt-get),
the changes aren't effective.
I can't reinstall (apt-get install --reinstall <pkg>) updated packages.
e.g. At the moment i can't reinstall base-files. If i try tp update it,
it tells me it's up to date.
Looking closer to the package information, i can see that the "filename"
isn't present for affected packages.
So far, the only way i found in order to install the updated version of
a package is to:
-> dpkg -r <pkg>
-> apt-get install <pkg>
That way, it downloads the last version (it's unacceptable for essential
packages like base-files).
So the information is somewhat there but apt-get and dselect are unable
to use it.
Here's the content of my /etc/apt/sources.list:
