apt-get update Packages error
I am trying to install the package 'nano' from unstable using pinning. I
am using Woody 3.0, kernel 2.4.18-bf2.4. I canot download the Packages
file for unstable/main.
I have tried apt-get update on several mirrors over a two week period
and I always get errors about the package lists or status file. Can
anyone suggest where I am going wrong? I would be grateful for any help.
Here are some typical errors:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
# apt-get update
Hit ftp://ftp.de.debian.org unstable/main Packages
Hit ftp://ftp.de.debian.org unstable/main Release
Reading Package Lists... Error!
E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room
E: Error occured while processing python-egenix-mxqueue (NewVersion1)
E: Problem with MergeList
/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.de.debian.org_debian_dists_unstable_main_binary-i386_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
