Another package manager problem

[Husse]

I booted to a live cd and I could not delete the files from there either. Even as root.

Seems you would need a bit of the power of the "vyger" in the StarTrek movie that featured carbon units

Does the files exist?
This may be hard to check but one thing that came to mind is that the files are gone and it's only a false entry in the file system
You could run fsck or wait for it to do it's scheduled run

[carbon_unit]

I'll run a fsck later and see what happens.

[carbon_unit]

fsck didn't help either. I'll probably just wait for the Mint refresh and start over then. It is still usable for now. I don;t need to install anything right now. The only reason I tried to open synaptic was to see if a certain package was available or not. I checked on another machine and it is. Question answered.

Thank you for being patient
Two commands to test (and I may have given the first before - did not read everything again)

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get -f install 

Elyssa should arrive soon
