(Solved) Problem Updating LXDE

[LKJ]

just tried to update LXDE 32bit and got oodles of errors. Including a link to the text file since it's kind of large to paste.
Link To Error Text File

perhaps someone can tell me how to fix this?

danke in advance...

edit: LXDE now just drops into the TTL. ugh

While installing package source-highlight-3.1.3-1pclos2010:

rpmdb: fsync: Input/output error
error: db3 error(5) from db->sync: Input/output error
rpmdb: ftruncate: 131072: Read-only file system
error: db3 error(30) from dbcursor->c_put: Read-only file system
error: error(30) storing record  into Provideversion
rpmdb: Provideversion page 14 is on free list with type 7
rpmdb: PANIC: Invalid argument
error: db3 error(-30974) from dbcursor->c_put: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery
error: error(-30974) storing record  into Provideversion
rpmdb: PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery
error: db3 error(-30974) from dbcursor->c_get: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery
error: error(-30974) getting "3.1.3-1pclos2010" records from Provideversion index
rpmdb: PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery
...

As I read the above... it seems that the rpm database lives on a read-only mounted filesystem ...
The next question is ... why the filesystem is mounted read-only ? possible answers:

- unclean filesystem
- wrong settings in /etc/fstab
- other reasons ...

As first thing, I would try to start from a LiveCD and perform a filesystem check:
fsck -f /dev/sdxN (substitute xN depending on disk/partition: /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2, /dev/sdb1 ...)
then reboot into the installed system and try again.

there was something amiss with the file system. I managed to get things to reboot after running "fdsk" or whatever it's called manually. but now I'm getting a message in synaptic that I have multiple copies of a few files. how do I get rid of the duplicates?

thanks

Try synaptic -> Edit -> Fix broken packages ... if it doesn't solve ... open a terminal, su to root, and run the followings:

rpm --rebuilddb
dupeclean
apt-get clean
apt-get autoclean

(note that the files /var/lib/rpm/__* doesn't exists anymore)

thanks as. since there were only a few dup packages I removed them manually with synaptic. all seems okay again unless you think I should autoclean just to be sure? I'm no longer getting errors however.

I think your system is already OK.  If other errors will arise in the near future ... you will run the rebuild commands

danke . It does seem fine now.
