Can't install ANY APPLICTION!

Can't install 'OpenJDK Java 6 Runtime'
I really don't know why :(

What happens when you try? Are you getting any error messages?

[Partian]

Yeah, I do infact.

There seems to be a programming error in aptdaemon. This is the software that allows you to install/remove software and to perform other package management related tasks.

and I have 'Details'


Traceback (most recent call last):

SystemError: E:I wasn't able to locate file for the sun-java6-jre package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package.

Hi and welcome to the forums Partian :)

Open a terminal with Ctrl+Alt+T and run the following commands (copy and paste to avoid typos):


sudo apt-get clean

sudo apt-get install -f

sudo dpkg -- configure -a

sudo apt-get update

If there are errors, for any of the commands post the exact message please.

Thanks, but it shows a disclaimer, but I can't click on '<Ok>' i'm not sure why.
EDIT: I would show you disclaimer but I can't install ANY program without the message popping up, thus means I can't install ANYTHING at all.
EXIT #2: No worries, I pressed the third button (scroll) and it worked, thanks.

Okay,

let's step back a minute and try just this in the terminal:


sudo apt-get update

If it reports errors, you should be able to copy it and post the message here.

If there are no errors, then try this command:


sudo dpkg --configure -a

Same procedure as before for error message.

Still nothing? Then post the contents of the following file:


cat /etc/apt/sources.list

Use the Tab key to highlight 'Ok', then press Enter.
