1.the catalogs are all missing
2.tried 1.sudo gainroot
rm /var/lib/dpkg/updates/0003
dpkg --configure -a
apt-get update
3.I cant use apt-get update because tells me to use dpkg --configure a but it tells me file is unable to open/create data lockfile
4.df -h / is blankbefore it would tell me the data
5.apt-get clean
apt-get autoremove
dpkg -l|grep ^rc
dpkg --purge foo bar
none of these helped
6I tried tracker-processes--hard-reset
/etc/osso-af-init/tracker.sh start
told me 151 pids...?
6.then I tried tracker-processes -R
7./etc/osso-af-init/tracker.sh start
tracker failed
It does look like reflashing is the best option.

Does the command "df -h /" really come out blank or does it give an error? It shouldn't be blank, I'm not sure how you would get that if it really is.

If your rootfs really is full it would result in some of the other problems so you need to sort that first. Try moving flashplayer to opt
Code:
root
mv /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so /opt/
ln -s /opt/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so
If that works then you should have a few megs of free space on your rootfs to work with. If "df" isn't working it might be because it looks for filesystems in /etc/mtab and if your rootfs is full mount can't write to that file, now you have freed up a bit of space (hopefully) you can now recreate it by running (as root)
Code:
cat /proc/mounts >/etc/mtab
Now the df command should hopefully work to tell you how much free space you have. If you get any errors with these commands post them here, but I still think flashing is a easier/better option than trying to fix this mess.
