Re: apt/dpkg + /var/lib/dpkg/status problems



I should have some free, half a gig physical, 1 gig swap or there abouts.

My machine normally crashes whenever I exit X, (the nvidia drivers I've always assumed), but hasn't for a few days.  I guess a reboot won't hurt.

I'll see if I can test the ram with memtest86 while I'm out to lunch later.

output from top:
11:29:26 up 3 days,  2:10, 16 users,  load average: 0.05, 0.06, 0.08
132 processes: 130 sleeping, 1 running, 1 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU states:   0.6% user,   2.6% system,   0.0% nice,  96.8% idle
Mem:    514380K total,   498200K used,    16180K free,    46024K buffers
Swap:   995988K total,    49708K used,   946280K free,   136016K cached
