Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code

Hi,
I was trying to configure Nvidia drivers but I got the error below. What I can do? I have been searching in Google but nothing have helped me to correct the problem. I tried apt-get -f install, dpkg --purge python-uno and dpkg --configure --pending.

Thanks in advance!

Are you using Debian Stable/testing/Unstable?

Can you post your /etc/apt/sources.lst file?

Also check the space on your Drive?

Try dpkg-reconfigure -a ? Then ty

apt-get update; apt-get upgrade; apt-get install <what-ever-you-were-planning-to-do>

Mine shows something like this:

Code:

debian:~# dpkg -l | grep symbol
ii  ttf-opensymbol  2.0.4.dfsg.2-7etch5 The OpenSymbol TrueType font
debian:~#
