Hi All, I am having a problem doing an
apt-get –u upgrade, I have the following error: - apt-extracttemplates: error while loading shared libraries: libapt-inst-libc6.3-5.so.1.0:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory dpkg: failed in buffer_read(fd): copy info file
`/var/lib/dpkg/available': Input/output error E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg
returned an error code (2) I carried out an fsck
on /usr and there were some errors which were fixed,
it made no difference to the error I am getting. I tried googling and having a look
on the debian site. When I tried
the debian irc server, it was suggested I try here. Here is some info, does anyone have any
ideas: - sources.list deb ftp://ftp.debian.nl/debian/ sarge main deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates
