Package system broken - E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
- by delha
After installing some packages and libraries I have an error on Package Manager, I can't run any update because it says:
"The package system is broken
If you are using third party repositories then disable them, since they are a common source of problems.
Now run the following command in a terminal: apt-get install -f "
I've tried to do what it says and it returns me:
jara@jara-Aspire-5738:~$ sudo apt-get install -f

I've tried everything people recommend on internet like:
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get -f install
Also I've tried to install the synaptic manager but it doesn't let me install anything..
As you can see nothing works so I'm desperate!
I'm using ubuntu 11.10, 64 bits
Thanks!!
