[SOLVED] Upgrade error in kde-plasmoid-cwp

[Mountain Man]

Here's what's happening

$ sudo apt-get -f install

It spits out a bunch of lines that tell me it's to going remove some stuff, install some stuff, upgrade some stuff. I tell it to go ahead, it spits out some more lines, then it ends with

Extracting templates from packages: 100%
Preconfiguring packages ...
dpkg: error: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 15229 package 'kde-plasmoid-cwp':
junk after word in `priority' field
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)

Running "sudo dpkg --configure -a" comes back clean.

Any ideas?

Re: Upgrade error in kde-plasmoid-cwp

there is no package kde-plasmoid-cwp in the normal repos, so this is probably where the problem lies. I suggest trying to uninstall kde-plasmoid-cwp and apt-get update/apt-get dist-upgrade. Don't be afraid to paste the info on what it wants to install /remove. If you added a ppa to get kde-plasmoid-cwp, I would also disable that as well. There already is a package in natty for cwp, called plasma-widget-cwp, btw

I had the same problem. Just edit the file, find the proper line and change the package priority from "low" to "optional".

Re: Upgrade error in kde-plasmoid-cwp

kde-plasmoid-cwp is from a .deb package that I installed a while back and then removed, but apparently it left some gunk behind? Looks like this has been reported as a bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...kg/+bug/773022

So the question is, what can I do about it now? Can I manually edit /var/lib/dpkg/available and remove the offending code?

Edit:

I had the same problem. Just edit the file, find the proper line and change the package priority from "low" to "optional".

Alright, thanks, man... looks like that did the trick.
