Re: Problem in Terminal

@Ammar Hamdan
The warning is expected since the keys are expired, blame Nokia.
Try using force-yes option to get the package to your N900

Code:

apt-get install --reinstall --force-yes -dy libc6

Re: Problem in Terminal

unexpected:

as root, do

Code:

cp /var/lib/dpkg/lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock.backup

Code:

rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock

Then run the command you were trying, prior to this error, again.

@unexpected
Would be easier to take your problem to the dedicated thread, not everyone likes to switch to this thread to look up the commands...

Package wrt-api-experimental is not installed, so not removed
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
qtwrt-experimental: Depends: wrt-experimental (= 1.1tp-3) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: wrt-api-experimental (= 1.1tp-3) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

also tried apt-get -f install but same error

At first thx guys 4 ur replies :)

it shows this:

Code:

This is clearly wrong (or at least will cause unexpected problems such as the one you have).

My (root) PATH has
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11

Please (again as root), type "cat /root/.profile"

Mine has (typing by hand):

Code:

if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then

 . ~/.bashrc

fi



PATH=(the line above)

export PATH

You haven't played with speedpatch and/or batterypatch lately, have you?

If the PATH is wrongly set, which is clearly the case, then neither dpkg nor apt-get (which will call dpkg anyway) will work at all, so regardless of whatever fancy commands the OP is asked to execute, none will work until he fixes the PATH, which takes all of 1 minute.
