[SOLVED] E: Internal Error, No file name for libss2 messing up apt-get

timebirds · 06-01-2012, 01:29 PM

The title pretty much says it, whenever I use apt-get I get this message after it: "E: Internal Error, No file name for libss2" messing up apt-get. It doesn't let me apt-get install anything or apt-get remove either. apt-get update works fine, though. I recently upgraded from Ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04.

Hi,

can you please cut and paste the the contents of your terminal when running the following

Code:

dpkg --audit
sudo apt-get -f install

Please put this in [code] tags (like I've done above) so that we can read it more easily.

Evo2.

Ok for the first one I sense something is wrong. Gives me this, but I couldn't get the top part because it took up too much space. libss2 is mentioned in it.

configuring them the first time.  The configuration should be retried using
dpkg --configure <package> or the configure menu option in dselect:

And for the second one...

Hi,

aha, so it looks like "dpkg --audit" is telling you that there are a bunch of packages that failed to fully install. They are unpacked but not configured. I guess you never actually completed that upgrade you mentioned in your first post.
Try to configure all the pending packages with the following command:

Code:

sudo dpkg --configure --pending

The above command is one of the standard tools in recovering from a botched upgrade.

Cheers,

Evo2.

Thanks, that worked.

flyflytn · 06-02-2012, 04:18 PM

thanks evo2. I had the same issue with libslang2.....I have never used --audit, I always just use apt-get, and after some large dist-upgrades I tend to re-run it again to make sure it went OK since I sometimes don't hang around to watch the upgrade. Thanks timebirds for pointing me over to this thread too.
