I am running Knoppix 7.4.2 from a flash drive. I have had no issues since I first installed it to flash drive in 2014 and created a persistent memory file. I have done several synaptic reloads with no issues.

A couple days ago I did a synaptic package manager reload and for the first time at the end a window appeared with errors. Here is a snapshot of the screen ...

I closed the error window , there was a pause and another window appeared with an error.

I closed this error window and synaptic closed. Now each time I start synaptic package manager , the same error window appears and when I close the error window synaptic closes.
I can no longer run synaptic package manager.


I then restarted Knoppix without my knoppix-data.img file. I started synaptic package manager and did a reload. Again , at the end I got the first window reporting key errors. I closed the error window. This time I did not get the second error window. Synaptic is still up and running.


Can this issue be fixed so I can still use my current knoppix-data.img persistent memory file or do I have to create a new persistent memory file and recreate/reestablish all the changes I had made?

Larry
