Hi sharethl.

Which forum are you normally on?

I see your posts, but can't tell the location of that forum.

[sharethl]

I normally on this forum
http://forum.ubuntu.org.cn
I have post it there but nobody reply it, So I came to here for help.

[hansdown]

I found something that may help, but I don't know if the language will work.

I found this thread.

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/sub-process-usrbindpkg-returned-an-error-code-1-171107/

It says to enter
apt-get -f install

I'm not sure if that is what you need, but maybe it will work?

[bapoumba]

@ sharethl: could you please translate your error messages so that we can give appropriate input? Thanks.

Please enable the hardy-security repositories :)

[sharethl]

It didn't work,

[bapoumba]

Hmm, may be try to use the main repos just to check. May be the repos you are using are not synced properly.. I got that kernel up and running.
