Hi geeks ,
I am having problem dealing with apt-get on ubuntu 8.4 machine .
I just tried to installed subversion as a root with this command
# apt-get install subversion
the problem is as follow
Reading package lists... Error!
E: Could not open file /var/lib/dpkg/status - open (2 No such file or directory)
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
# apt-get update
long prompts and everything seems ok until the last three lines of prompt. the above error occurs at the end of update process.(I can post that long prompts if needed)
I have googled many time and visited many sites over the net, even in the ubuntu forum, to solve the problem.
But i havent solved the problem yet. Anybody here can help me out ?please.
