Hi!
I have this application manager problem:
Code:
E: could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (2
no such file or directory)

E: unable to lock the list directory
I thought: "Hey well ok, thats really sane and so I ssh'ed in and sudo gainroot and apt-get update"
As the error message says, the dir:
Code:
/var/lib/apt/lists
Does NOT exist.

How can I resolve this?
I mean it has nothing to do with a rootfs space issue. I got almost 40mb there. Its all about the apt missing its dirs and cant do its thing.
