[amolshinde]

Hi, all. I Cannot install any package in the server, As I am newbie in Server. In Morning I found that some, I am not able to install any package from command line in the server,Now every package is now manually downloaded packages and then installed in the server. Can any one in the forum tell me what is the issue and how could I resolve this issue.
I have tried to fix this issue by upgrading & updating Server, But did not worked, Below are the details of my server :-

OS:- Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS \n \l (64 Bit)
Ram:- 2Gb

Below are the unknown errors:-

Thanks.

You have run:


sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

... in that order? Not the other way around?

[amolshinde]

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

yes i have updated this commands but still error is same.

watch /etc/apt/sources.list to be sure you only use lucid archives (deactivate ppa if you have a few ones)

then clean the cache:
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get autoremove

then update again:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -f

note: as your log shows, there is a conflict with libgtk, which might be not a genuine package , but installed by an extra archive like ppa.
note2: you need to pay attention at your locale settings https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Locale

Is it okay?

[Bucky Ball]

I don't think so. These are all archives and there is a lot missing compared to my /etc/apt/sources.list.

Thanks for reply, Does upgrading OS with Command "sudo apt-get upgrade" harm packages of Servers?

[dino99]

you miss some archives: multiverse, partner, medibuntu

i does not need deb-scr here, so i've removed them. The missing on your side are about sound mainly, but also microcode etc.

[Bucky Ball]

Does upgrading OS with Command "sudo apt-get upgrade" harm packages of Servers?

The intention is just the opposite. It upgrades your apps and software to the latest available for your release, it does NOT upgrade your system to the next release of Ubuntu Server.

I don't deploy servers in any professional environment but I imagine some folks need to be super safe and take the 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' approach once the servers are up and only go for security updates until the next LTS release. This way (theoretically) everything will stay as is, but there is no avoiding human intervention and from that point human error is always possible!

Thanks for your reply, I have pasted above lines in the source.list file. But :( did not worked.
While running command i found that when i was using tab key for auto complete , apt-get word was not coming in the Bash terminal, as i have checked in other Ubuntu OS it was autocompleting. That means i have to reinstall apt package in the server, hope i am right?

I have pasted above lines in source.list file, But did not worked :( While running apt-get command i found that bash is not auto completing command, but in other same version of OS i have check it is working there. Does it means that apt Package is corrupted ?

your best helpfull friend is still named log(s)

[amolshinde]

Thanks for you reply, But i think apt package is corrupted, while running command on terminal, command is not auto completing, that means that apt packaged is corrupted.
