[19:32] <zoclo> hi guys
[19:32] <zoclo> i need some help
[19:32] <zoclo> i try to install programs or aplications in ubuntu 11.10 and i have an error message every time i do it
[19:33] <pleia2> what's the error message?
[19:35] <zoclo> installArchives() failed: dpkg: error: reading package info file '/var/lib/dpkg/available': Input/output error
[19:36] <pleia2> sounds like /var/lib/dpkg/available became corrupted somehow, I'd move it to /var/lib/dpkg/available.bak and run it again
[19:36] <pleia2> (or there is something wrong with your filesystem, but let's not assume the worst just yet :))
[19:37] <zoclo> what could be the solution?
[19:38] <pleia2> I just gave you one
[19:38] <pleia2> did it not work?
[19:38] <zoclo> move to another folder/
[19:38] <pleia2> /var/lib/dpkg/available is a file, you just rename it
[19:38] <zoclo> i don't know how to do it
[19:38] <pleia2> run this in a terminal: sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/available /var/lib/dpkg/available.bak
[19:38] <akk> I/O error sometimes means a hardware error on the disk. It might be worth running dmesg | tail
[19:39] <akk> to see if there are any more details along those lines.
[19:40] <zoclo> You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies:  deepin-software-center : Depends: aria2 but it is not going to be installed  libvlc5 : Depends: libvlccore4 (>= 1.1.0) but it is not going to be installed  vlc : Depends: libvlccore4 (>= 1.1.0) but it is not going to be installed  vlc-nox : Depends: libvlccore4 (>= 1.1.0) but it is not going to be installed  vlc-plugin-not
[19:41] <zoclo> i got that now
[19:42] <pleia2> so do what it suggests: sudo apt-get -f install
[19:42] <pleia2> if those packages are available apt will try to resolve the problem
[19:43] <pleia2> if not, you have a bit of a mess on your hands and you'll want to back up and see what you were trying to do when the machine got into this state (installing .debs manually? using PPAs?)
[19:44] <zoclo> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
[19:44] <pleia2> nothing above that?
[19:45] <pleia2> I don't know what "deepin-software-center" is, but it's not a supported package in the archive so it looks like it's causing problems
[19:45] <zoclo> dpkg: error: failed to open package info file `/var/lib/dpkg/available' for reading: No such file or directory E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
[19:45] <pleia2> I'd remove it
[19:46] <pleia2> to regenerate available, do: sudo apt-get update
[19:47] <zoclo> done
[19:48] <pleia2> now probably want to: sudo apt-get remove deepin-software-center
[19:50] <zoclo> The following packages have unmet dependencies:  libvlc5 : Depends: libvlccore4 (>= 1.1.0) but it is not going to be installed  vlc : Depends: libvlccore4 (>= 1.1.0) but it is not going to be installed  vlc-nox : Depends: libvlccore4 (>= 1.1.0) but it is not going to be installed  vlc-plugin-notify : Depends: libvlccore4 (>= 1.1.0) but it is not going to be installed  vlc-plugin-pulse : Depends: libvlccore4 (>= 1.1.0) but it is no
[19:51] <pleia2> just keep removing things until you get sorted, I need to get back to work so hopefully others can help
[19:51] <pleia2> libvlc5 seems to be your problem now
[19:51] <zoclo> so how i can reinstall that?
