install-info: failed to lock dir for editing! No such file or directory
Hi all,
I had a problem with my hard disk and somehow my potato system has
gotten hosed. Can someone tell me how to correct the following
problem?
chicago:~# dpkg -i /tmp/dpkg_1.4.1.19.deb

installed.)
Preparing to replace dpkg 1.4.1.19 (using /tmp/dpkg_1.4.1.19.deb) ...
