View Full Version : post-HD install: apt-get dist-upgrade problems
I was able to get Knoppix installed on my HD - - it's a heavenly thing.
I was then able to apt-get update/upgrade without problems.
Then I apt-get dist-upgrade and KONSOLE crashes with a:
"The application Konsole (konsole) crashed and caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV)."
What's weird is that my root account's desktop had a konsole opened when I had logged out -- this one starts up just fine. Click on the icon or type it into a command line (from, say, rxvt) and it fails.
I'm really new to debian so I'm not sure if this is a KNOPPIX or DEBIAN issue. Any help is appreciated.
I had the same problem, and can't fix it :(. I subsequently did an 'apt-get remove konsole' with the intent of reinstalling it, and that failed. I now must suffer with gnome-terminal (2.10), and greatly mourn the loss of my beloved konsole. If anyone has any suggestions as to how I can get it back, please post your ideas.

first i got the following error with apt-get update:
Reading Package Lists... Error!
E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room
E: Error occured while processing mule2-wnn (NewPackage)
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
Could solve it by manually resizing the cache by adding the line
Apt::Cache-Limit "8388604";
to /etc/apt/apt.conf.
Now the update of the pkg-database worked fine, so i tried a
apt-get install xine-ui
it looked good, until after the download of all the related packages libc6 was to be updated.
An Error occured (something about a wrong dpkg, i can't remember) and now all efforts to install anything end with:

Then I apt-get dist-upgrade and KONSOLE crashes with a:
"The application Konsole (konsole) crashed and caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV)."
I tried the same and got similar things.
Just an apt-get upgrade works excellently.
I tried a dist-upgrade after changing "testing" to "unstable" in /etc/apt/apt.conf. After changing of about 750 packages a had a working sid.
I think it's also possible to downgrade to woody by changing "testing" to "stable", but I didn't try.
Maybe for a pure dist-upgrade you have to to something in /etc/apt/sources.list.

I didn't do a dist-upgrade, just did an apt-get update; apt-get upgrade with the stock sources.list and just recently my konsole has been left in a non-operable state.
The error when you try to run konsole is:
Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file
...
can anyone help?
TIA
