AMD Semperon 3000+ 1.5gb ram no desktop(don't need one for what I want to do)
Seems to run great untill I try to install a package.
I don't have anything from any repo besides Debians official repos on purpose.
I keep getting this when I try to install things.
Partitions are setup like this
Code: Select all
60gb hd
/boot
/root
and /swap
other drive is 40gb where my /home partition is
Code: Select all
dpkg-deb: error: <decompress> subprocess returned error exit status 2
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives[package name here].deb (--unpack):
dpkg=deb --fsys-tarfile subprocess returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while prrocessing:
/var/cache/apt/[package name here].deb
Error Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned error code (1)
Have tried the instructions at this link and a few similar things to no avail
Code: Select all

And if I try to install the dependencies it starts with the dpkg errors all over again.
This started when I had Buster installed on it originally so I switched to Stretch thinking the older hardware would work better but had the same problem.
So i reinstalled Buster again and some stuff was whacky so I looked into it and found out either my iso was corrupted or my flash drive was acting funny.
So I tried with a new usb stick and a fresh download that I verified and check for integrity and it seemed to install a lot faster and smoother.
2 days go by and the problem comes back.
Could this be a hardware problem somehow? Maybe a bad hdd?
Both drives are kind of old.
Any other information that could be needed please just ask and I will do my best to share it.
