Re: Little Big Problem with apt-get fakeroot

I'm a little confused -- what ".Deb Pack" are you referring to? vlc is in the standard repo, as is fakeroot, so I don't know why you would need a .deb package at all.

Nevertheless, based on the "suggested packages" message, I would try this in a terminal:

Code:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Code:

sudo apt-get update

Code:

sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 debhelper fakeroot build-essential lirc mozilla-plugin-vlc videolan-doc

Re: Little Big Problem with apt-get fakeroot

Thank you for you answer but you don't understand my problem:
I have a errore that says this :
dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute installed post-installation script: Exec format error
dpkg: error processing fakeroot (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
fakeroot
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

everytimes I try to install deb packet o use apt-get to install, remove, purge...

Re: Little Big Problem with apt-get fakeroot

OK.

First, try in a terminal

Code:

sudo apt-get -f install

That may clear it.

Re: Little Big Problem with apt-get fakeroot

OK. Try this:

Code:

sudo apt-get update

Code:

sudo dpkg --force-all -i

**Mr.Cookie** · Jun 01, 2010, 08:51 AM

Re: Little Big Problem with apt-get fakeroot

how can I use it ? Becouse it says that the comand "sudo dpkg --force-all -i" :

tommy@Tommy:~$ sudo dpkg --force-all -i
dpkg: --install needs at least one package archive file argument

Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages[*];
Use `dselect' or `aptitude' for user-friendly package management;
Type dpkg -Dhelp for a list of dpkg debug flag values;
Type dpkg --force-help for a list of forcing options;
Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files;
Type dpkg --license for copyright license and lack of warranty (GNU GPL)[*].

Options marked[*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through `less' or `more' !

Re: Little Big Problem with apt-get fakeroot

Bahh -- sorry.

Re: Little Big Problem with apt-get fakeroot

OK, well, I resorted to Googling your error, and found this:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...kg/+bug/512096

and this:

http://www.khattam.info/2009/08/04/s...tatus-2-error/

I would advise trying the workaround on launchpad first -- if that works you don't need to do the other one.
