Hi all,

since the update to Hardy running update-manager I got the following error:

Could not initialize the package information

A unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information.

Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message:

'E:Could not open file /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin - open (13 Permission denied), E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.'

Also chowning to user.user or chmodding to 777 the files .bin in /var/cache/apt does not resolve the issue.

running apt from command line under root runs smoothly.

Any hints ?

Yours,

Mic

I donīt know if this will work but will not do any harm


sudo aptitude update & sudo aptitude safe-upgrade
