I had a crash while using Kpackage last night (nothing to do with software, it's a hardware fault). I'm up and running again after much fscking, but now Kpackage (or rather, dpkg which it calls) won't work. I get the message 'failed to open /var/lib/dpkg/available - no such file or directory'. Sure enough, there's no such file. There is a available-old file - should I just copy that as 'available' and continue? Or will it get something fatally out of sync? cr
