Re: cannot commit updates?

Try a

Code:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

on that system.

That basically resets the package management database. If it gives no errors, then you might want to

Code:

sudo apt-get autoclean

Code:

sudo apt-get autoremove

Code:

sudo apt-get update

Code:

sudo apt-get install

That should put it back to current and error-free.

Re: cannot commit updates?

Thanks for your solution.
I was able to get it back to the state before the update. But when I tried to update it again, the problem is still there.

Re: cannot commit updates?

after running updates via Adept a got this message

Code:

It seems that the recovery has failed. Please fix manually (try dpkg --configure -a and/or apt-get -f install) in terminal... 

The error was: 
APT Error. Context:
  Running dpkg, 
  [ /usr/bin/dpkg, --status-fd, 3, --configure, -a ], 
  Sub-process exited unexpectedly

running dpkg --configure -a gives me this message

Code:

dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:221: process_queue: Assertion `dependtry <= 4' failed.
Aborted

apt-get -f install brings this message

Code:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg exited unexpectedly

now i have no idea what to do.
