6.3.7 What to do if the dpkg command is broken

A broken dpkg may make it impossible to install any .deb files. A procedure like the following will help you recover from this situation. (In the first line, you can replace "links" with your favorite browser command.)

$ links http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/dpkg/
... download the good dpkg_version_arch.deb
$ su
password: *****
# ar x dpkg_version_arch.deb
# mv data.tar.gz /data.tar.gz
# cd /
# tar xzfv data.tar.gz

you either removed ar too, or you have not set PATH correctly. Can you check if the file /usr/bin/ar exists?

No there isn't az file

pan64 · 09-15-2012, 03:08 PM

actually you can have an ar also, probably you can download it, but would be nice to know what else have been lost. In such cases reinstalling your os may give you a faster solution

Help others to help you - post outputs:

Code:

$ ls -l /usr/bin/dpkg

Code:

$ ls -l /usr/bin/ar

I can't reinstall my system, because i have important files which I can't upload/download

lt is in the same path as ar and dpkg ... so it looks like someone has been nuking files...?

You do not need to run either of those commands as root, try again and run as normal user with absolute paths

Code:

$ /usr/bin/ls -l /usr/bin/dpkg

Code:

$ /usr/bin/ls -l /usr/bin/ar

Also

Code:

$ /usr/bin/echo $PATH

"Important files" or not, you are facing reinstalling - hopefully next time you won't be mixing buntu packages or repos with Debian...

/usr/bin/dpkg: line 7: exec: dpkgs: not found
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (127)

pan64 · 09-15-2012, 04:29 PM

so there is no /usr/bin/ls, but ls /usr/bin/dpkg returned some answer. That looks really strange. What will
type ls
which ls
reply?

else

type ls
which ls
echo $PATH
