Debian - Aptitude -
Guys,
how do i solve this: Code:
# aptitude install dictionaries-common And somebody here at work left /etc/apt/sources.list like this: Code:
deb http://ftp.debian.org/ stable main contrib non-free |
Quote:
Try... # aptitude update # aptitude install -f |
Don't know about the Aptitude problem, but as for the sources.list: Stable will mean Lenny in the near(?) future, Etch will remain Etch.

hi guys,
i tried it all, but nothing worked. still the same problem... :( I didn't mention that my default language pt_BR. For this output that was posted I executed LANG=en |
Try ...
# dpkg --configure -a |
:(
Code:
# LANG=en |
OK. You have an unusual problem. Usually such problems are related to Debian releases having been mixed at some point. I suspect that your problem is related to an attempted installation of OpenOffice.org
dictionaries-common has an interesting dependency list (at least in Sid). Observe... Code:
debian64:~# apt-cache depends dictionaries-common $ apt-cache policy openoffice.org Assuming that doesn't raise any red flags, this is what I would try, but at this point we are really shooting in the dark. (The first command is simply to reinforce aptitude as the package manager of record. That's what you should be using exclusively.) # aptitude keep-all # aptitude update # aptitude remove wamerican iamerican ispell ibrazilian # aptitude purge wamerican iamerican ispell ibrazilian # aptitude install dictionaries-common ...or you may need to use the even more powerful... # dpkg -P wamerican iamerican ispell ibrazilian If new conflicting apps arise, keep remove/purging them and retry. Another tactic would be ... # aptitude remove openoffice.org ... then reinstall it. |
Previous post took care of this...
removed redundant |
openoffice.org is not installed. Btw, there is no Window Manager like Gnome or KDE installed.
aptitude remove wamerican iamerican ispell ibrazilian gave me errors too: Code:
# aptitude remove wamerican iamerican ispell ibrazilian |

# dpkg --purge --foce-all dictionaries-common
# apt-get install dictionaries-common Seems to solve most issues for me. At least those issues not related to bad packages. As far as sources.list, I tend to use dselect to update that when I have issues. apt-get update and friends don't seem to merge multiple sources by themselves. Especially when swapping between distro revisions. dselect generally cleans that up and grabs certain deps not otherwise gotten. If it's a bad package / download, you might try removing the .deb from the archives and redownloading / installing. rm /var/cache/apt/archives/dictionaries-common_0.70.10_all.deb apt-get install dictionaries-common HTH |
I want to remove all these packages: ispell dictionaries-common wamerican ibrazilian iamerican. But i am not sure if any other packages depends on these. How can I check it out?
Code:
# aptitude show ispell | grep State |
SOLVED.
I don't know if what I did was the best way but it worked :) I commented these lines: Code:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/iamerican.postrm: line 6: /usr/sbin/remove-default-ispell: No such file or directory thanks for your help :) |
