I am running on xen, Debian 5.0-i386-default. I haven't touched my vps in 2 months then last night I ran the following command:
myserver:/usr/bin# apt-get upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages have been kept back: makepasswd The following packages will be upgraded: libc6 libc6-dev libc6-xen libmysqlclient15off locales mysql-client mysql-client-5.0 mysql- common mysql-server mysql-server-5.0 10 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded. Need to get 0B/50.1MB of archives. After this operation, 483kB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? y Preconfiguring packages ... E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (100)
I googled and it seems to be a permission thing for "dpkg". However, I cd into /usr/bin and there's no dpkg binary!!! Please help thanks
Could not exec dpkg!whendpkgisn't found. What command did you use to check ifdpkgbinary isn't there? Can you tryfile /usr/bin/dpkgand tell us what the output is?
