Hi Numbnuts.

Could you please paste the output from the following command:

Code:

dpkg --audit

Also, what is atftpd? Are you still needing to run this piece of software? Did you install it from the repos?

I also did this:

PHP Code:




root@mx:/home/user# apt-get --purge remove atftpd 
Reading package lists... Done 
Building dependency tree

After this operation, 178 kB disk space will be freed.

I think there's something wrong at the repository or something
it's an advanced file transfer brotocol brogram
well, I removed it, ran auto remove, and there's no error anymore.
thank you

Ok. I'm glad you got it sorted out.

If you want, you can mark this thread as "Solved" (see "Thread Tools" at the top of this thread).
