Safe-upgrade of "dash" fails
Hi all.
Coming back from a month-long trip, I decided to safe-upgrade my debian
unstable desktop. Among the hundreds of new packages, apt seemed eager to
install (or upgrade, I'm not sure) dash.
Unfortunately, something seems to have gone terribly wrong and I would
like to complete successfully the upgrade before rebooting the box. Here's
what aptitude is complaining about:
Unpacking dash (from .../dash_0.5.5.1-2.3_amd64.deb) ...
Adding `diversion of /bin/sh to /bin/sh.distrib by dash'
Adding `diversion of /usr/share/man/man1/sh.1.gz to
/usr/share/man/man1/sh.distrib.1.gz by dash'
dpkg (subprocess): unable to exec dpkg-deb to get filesystem archive: No
such file or directory
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/dash_0.5.5.1-2.3_amd64.deb
(--unpack):
subprocess dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile returned error exit status 2
dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute new post-removal script: No such file
or directory
dpkg: error while cleaning up:
subprocess new post-removal script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/dash_0.5.5.1-2.3_amd64.deb
E: Problem executing scripts DPkg::Post-Invoke 'if [ -d
/var/lib/update-notifier ]; then touch
/var/lib/update-notifier/dpkg-run-stamp; fi'
E: Sub-process returned an error code
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I tried google-ing around for a bit but couldn't find anything useful
related to this problem.
Anyone have a quick fix for this?
Thanks.
