hi, my problem is the next:
when i run apt-get update, debian says me:


linex-inWpyZ:/var/lib/dpkg# apt-get update
Des:1 http://apt.linex.org sarge/linex2006 Packages [491kB]

Leyendo lista de paquetes... ¡Error!
E: Error de lectura - read (5 Error de entrada/salida)
E: No se pudieron analizar o abrir las listas de paquetes o el
archivo de estado.

my sourcelist is this:
deb http://apt.linex.org/linex2006 sarge linex2006 # gnuLinEx 2006
deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main contrib #
Seguridad de Debian
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian sarge main contrib non-free #
Copia de Debian en Alemania

and i don't be able to fix it, i tried with:
apt-get clean, un apt-get autoclean, un apt-get -f install, un dpkg
--configure -a,
and nothing, the error continues.

i detected that the file into /var/lib/dpkg/, which is named 'available' is
corrupt because i can't open it to read, and the same happens with the
'status' files, also into the same directory.

till i got this error before, but i can fix it doing apt-get clean,
autoclean... but now i can't.
please can you me?

I had a similar problem in the past and solved it by adding the following line
in /etc/apt/apt.conf (create the file if you don't have one) :

APT::Cache-Limit "100000000";

then re-run apt-get update

try a higher value if it does not work, but I don't know what it means exactly
so maybe there's a risk of breaking something

no friend, the error continues, i try this:
linex-inWpyZ:/etc/apt# cat apt.conf

APT
{
APT::Cache-Limit "100000000";
CDROM
{
NoMount "True";
};
};

Acquire
{
cdrom
{
mount "/media/cdrecorder";
};
};

and then, with: apt-get update, but i don't get luck.

hmm, not sure about it, but maybe APT::Cache-Limit inside APT{} is redundant
and not understood by apt. Try either APT { Cache-Limit ... } or
APT::Cache-Limit outside of the braces.

Hola David,

First of all: with this bunch of Servers you should increase your
Apt-Cache value in /etc/apt/apt.conf

Delete the file "/var/lib/dpkg/available", the copy the file
"/var/lib/dpkg/status.old" to "/var/lib/dpkg/status" and rerun
"apt-get update.

If you have NO /var/lib/dpkg/status.old then look for the newest
file in "/var/backups/dpkg.satus.X.gz" which you uncompress and
copy to "/var/lib/dpkg/status".
