Software - Unable to parse package file /etc/apt/preferences (1) Graham - 07.08.2006, 22:28 Uhr Titel: Unable to parse package file /etc/apt/preferences (1)
As a noob I don't understand the following message that popped up when I opened Synaptic;
Unable to parse package file /etc/apt/preferences (1)
Synaptic worked no problem last week for a full package upgrade after re-installing Kanotix, came to use it today and got that!
What does it mean and how can I make it go away please?
Many thanks in advance

wget -O/etc/apt/preferences http://kanotix.com/files/fix/preferences
Please use apt and NOT synaptic for dist-upgrade, it is also wise to use for upgrading package's

Kano hat folgendes geschrieben::

I had the same problem, and when I tried to solve it I got this message:
Malformed URL: DEBAPT
What can I do?

Were you root ?

Try as root
and try again to start kpackage

thank you!
It works - but only when I start kpackages from a root terminal!?

hmm, try
apt-get remove --purge kpackage
then
apt-get install kpackage
or
apt-get install --reinstall kpackage

ok - it is working fine now, when I start it from the root terminal, and I don't use it so often.
Thank you for your help!
