Re: apt-get problems
The status files are there under /var/lib/dpkg/, and there are also
a methlock and lock file. I don't know why it is there. I tried removing
it, still no use. the locks comeback. May be that's not the prob.
Somebody please help me. You know how tough life could get without
apt-get in a debian machine.
Here are those command outputs on my machine.
