willisoften Posted January 10, 2003 Report Share Posted January 10, 2003 could not open RPM package list file /var/state/apt/lists/ftp.ibiblio.org_pub_Linux_distributions_contrib_texstar_apt_Mandrake_base_pkglis t.updates: (no error) Problem opening /var/state/apt/lists/ftp.ibiblio.org_pub_Linux_distributions_contrib_texstar_apt_Mandrake_base_pkglis t.updates The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. I need to add a new mirror (I think )? How? If I close the error box with OK Synaptic shuts down so its kind of hard to poke around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezroller Posted January 11, 2003 Report Share Posted January 11, 2003 did you do the update from the terminal as soon as you installe it? you can't do that from the GUI, and I'm pretty sure that that is the error message that you get.
