  • Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! Could you include the output of apt-cache policy (no further options) in your question? However, I think something has damaged severely... looking at the Permission denied errors. I've never seen this before. Some other obvious thoughts: any disk full? (df -h) Mount point read-only? grep ro /proc/mounts. And you run this with sudo, right?

    It appears to be trying to fix, but you are getting permission denied as gertvdijk mentions and you are not showing the full command you are using. Are you using sudo apt-get -f install?

  • yes i run with sudo. The disk is not full.

    Is /var on a separate partition and is it mounted noexec?

  • Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! Could you include the output of apt-cache policy (no further options) in your question? However, I think something has damaged severely... looking at the Permission denied errors. I've never seen this before. Some other obvious thoughts: any disk full? (df -h) Mount point read-only? grep ro /proc/mounts. And you run this with sudo, right?

    It appears to be trying to fix, but you are getting permission denied as gertvdijk mentions and you are not showing the full command you are using. Are you using sudo apt-get -f install?

  • yes i run with sudo. The disk is not full.

    Is /var on a separate partition and is it mounted noexec?

  • Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! Could you include the output of apt-cache policy (no further options) in your question? However, I think something has damaged severely... looking at the Permission denied errors. I've never seen this before. Some other obvious thoughts: any disk full? (df -h) Mount point read-only? grep ro /proc/mounts. And you run this with sudo, right?

    It appears to be trying to fix, but you are getting permission denied as gertvdijk mentions and you are not showing the full command you are using. Are you using sudo apt-get -f install?

    The .deb packages in /var/cache/apt/archives are used by the system to install software. But once the software is installed, these .deb packages are no longer needed.



    first try:



    sudo apt-get clean


    then:



    sudo apt-get -f install

    • @raminomrani You're wrong here. It won't remove any package from the system. It's just clearing the APT download cache. To extract the packages from the cache they're first checked for integrity. If they're damaged in some sort they won't be processed. And that su will not make a difference as sudo will already elevate privileges.

            • @raminomrani You're wrong here. It won't remove any package from the system. It's just clearing the APT download cache. To extract the packages from the cache they're first checked for integrity. If they're damaged in some sort they won't be processed. And that su will not make a difference as sudo will already elevate privileges.

            • Why would removing locally cached packages solve these errors? I don't see it.
