I have installed Linspire 6.0 on my new Toshiba Satellite and was able to install some of my favorite programs via CNR.com. during the installation I lost my wireless connection for a moment. Since then I have been getting an error when I attempt to install programs via CNR.com. I go through the install process and it looks ok until the end when I get an error that says "This software coluld not be found on the server". This happens after the download is finished. I chcecke the tmp folder and all of the software is downloaded there.

What might be worth a try is to run the following from a Konsole...

sudo dpkg --configure -a

this used to work on the old CNR when something got left unfinished.


As for the software could not be found errors, I've noticed that sometimes they'll install if you try installing it a few times.

When I first start CNR it tells me that "4 updates are available Would you like CNR to update your software?". When I select Y it tries but can't do the installations.

I tried "$ sudo dpkg --configure -a" but recieved the following:

============

$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of fp-linux-ws:
fp-linux-ws depends on libwww-perl; however:
Package libwww-perl is not installed.
dpkg: error processing fp-linux-ws (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
fp-linux-ws

===========

Any ideas?

Legacy CNR.

Run the command: dpkg --configure -a

And then the command: apt-get -f install
