dpkg not working

[wobin77]

Hi,

When i try to use dpkg in terminal, it does nothing.
For example i want to use the bytecode hinting:

wobin@wobin-desktop:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config
[sudo] password for wobin: 
wobin@wobin-desktop:~$

and that's all that happens. Same for other dpkg commands.

Am i missing something here?


Thanks!

obvious question, are you putting in your password and are you a member of the sudo group?

The command may not necessarily give back output. Bash does not say.. It worked! It only prints errors. (Generally, some programs print stuff anyway, such as apt-get.)
