Knoppix 6.2 CD - apt-get update, error

I was attempting to load the flash player (using LXTerminal Root) via "apt-get update" & received the following error:

Reading package lists... Error!
W: Failed to fetch http://security.debian.org/dists/sta...es/Release.gpg Temporary failure resolving 'security.debian.org'

W: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room. Please increase the size of APT::Cache-Limit. Current value: 25165824. (man 5 apt.conf)
E: Error occurred while processing gnokii (NewVersion1)
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status
W: Unable to munmap
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

What can do to increase the size of APT::Cache-Limit?

You will have to add a line like

Code:

---

APT::Cache-Limit "50000000";

---

to a configuration file of the apt program. I would create a new file called /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/11cache-limit with an editor.

The value of 50000000 is a guess. It needs to be greater than 25165824 and I made the experience myself that 50000000 will be sufficient. If you reissue the command

Code:

---

apt-get update

---

then you will see that the error has disappeared.
