What type of system is it, and what have you previously done to it?

I would try

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get -f install

to see if that clears the broken package error and then go from there.

Sorry debiman
I thought I was answering the question.
I looked up the error and that link was a solution for the error.
I didn't mean to do anything wrong.

How ever, also , I do no think the link posted by dcihon , would be
a good solution,...It is for Debain Lenny, ???

from: The link "dcihon" posted:
The Advanced Package Tool, or ‘apt’ on Debian-based systems is the mainstay for installing, upgrading and removing packages. Behind the various apt tools, the Debian package manager, dpkg, carries out the heavy lifting. You might wish to install new versions of packages periodically with the sequence:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

Recently, this and any other upgrade failed on Debian Lenny with:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (100)

A quick look at /usr/bin/dpkg revealed the following!

---------- 1 root root 365324 2010-03-08 15:35 dpkg

A quick ‘chmod 755 /usr/bin/dpkg’ fixed the problem! I know I did not change the permissions, so it must have been a recent patch. Hopefully this gets fixed quickly!
