Ubuntu computer janitor in Ubuntu 10.04
Could not install updates
installArchives() failedat the top right of my screen, when i hover mouse over the 'red stop sign' It also says :
An error occurred, please run Package Manager from the right-click menu or apt-get in a terminal to see what is wrong.
The error message was: 'Error: Opening the cache (E:Could not opent file /var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin - open (13: Permission denied), E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.) 'This usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependenciesIs it planning on telling me what packages have unmet dependencies? I don't think it is and there's no way to find out.
I think I ran
chmod -R 775 /var/* at some point if that helps because I was trying to sort out another issue that something was giving me that also said something about permissions.
Ubuntu is just doing my head in tonight. :)
