[SOLVED] Problems updating

[Trucco95]

Hello, there!
Before addressing the issue I should tell you about a mistake I made yesterday while trying to install pipelight ( http://www.pipelight.net ). The point is that I accidentally ran these commands:

Code: Select all

add-apt-repository ppa:pipelight/stable 
apt-get update
apt-get install pipelight
dpkg --add-architecture i386
wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/DarkPlayer:/Pipelight/Debian_7.0/Release.key 
apt-key add Release.key 

Since that, every time I try to update, the following error occurs:

Code: Select all

  The following partially installed packages will be configured:
  linux-image-3.2.0-4-686-pae 
No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.

Well, that's all! Thanks in advance!

What's in your sources.list and your sources.list.d?

The point is that I accidentally ran these commands:

Reminds me of that scene from "The Last Boy Scout"


These look odd:

cp: cannot stat `/lib/libacl*': No such file or directory

Doesn't exist on my installs either...

E: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/live failed with return 1.

What type of system is (was ) this?

Pipelight maybe needs wine, which I do not want to use on daily-use productive debian:
http://pipelight.net/cms/install/instal ... ebian.html
http://pipelight.net/cms/installation.html

The point is that I accidentally ran these commands:

Code: Select all

add-apt-repository ppa:pipelight/stable 

I will not do such a thing.

Have you removed PPA?

These look odd:

What type of system is (was ) this?

+1 (I agree with the above idea)

The OP's debian may be unusual one.

To the OP: Trucco95,
How did you install the debian?

[Trucco95]

First of all, thanks for answering! Secondly, I solved the problem by reinstalling live-initramfs and live-config. I'm not sure why this worked, and I would like to know, so if anyone can tell me why, I will be grateful.

Now I will answer some of your questions:

What's in your sources.list and your sources.list.d?

I think that was not the problem, I checked all of them and I didn't find anything suspicious...

I don't even have the slightest idea of why it wanted to stat that... thing... called "libacl*" (which, by the by, for those who didn't know (Like me! ), libacl.so contains some POSIX draft standard for manipulating access control lists (should we have this?) )

E: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/live failed with return 1.

What type of system is (was ) this?

deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 7.5.0 _Wheezy_ - Official i386 NETINST Binary-1 20140426-12:25]/ wheezy main (This is what you're asking, right?)
I think that something (by the way, I don't know what is that something, any idea?) was wrong with initramfs-tools.

The point is that I accidentally ran these commands:

Code: Select all

add-apt-repository ppa:pipelight/stable 

I will not do such a thing.

I know, I know! I'm a little bit stupid (RTFM kind of stupid)...

Have you removed PPA?

Yes! I have

Why do you say that? (I'm interested in your opinion, I want to learn, I'm not being aggressive nor anything like that )

Because I think that the windows programs which can be downloaded on the web may contain malware (virus, adware, and so on). I do not think that wine itself contains some malware.
In other words, I am not sure whether pipelight contains no malware.

The pipelight developers also regularly have code accepted into Wine, and seem to be trustworthy. Pipelight's source is open and can be checked for malicious code.

I've adapted Pipelight, netflix-desktop, and patched Wine builds for the Wheezy-based MX 14 and MEPIS 12 releases. It works pretty much automagically there.

Thank you for telling the above
