Dpkg ошибка cannot access archive

Сообщение об ошибке No such file or directory означает, что .deb Файл не существует или не существует в текущем каталоге.

~ между : а также $ в приглашении представляет текущий рабочий каталог. ~ (когда следующий символ / или, как в этом случае, ничего) является сокращением для вашего домашнего каталога, /home/collins,

Вы сказали, что загрузили .deb файл «в загружаемых файлах». Предполагая, что это означает, что вы загрузили его в свой Downloads папка, это означает, что он находится в /home/collins/Downloads скорее, чем /home/collins,

Таким образом, вы сможете установить его, выполнив следующую команду:

sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/wineqq2012-20120719-longene.deb

Если это не сработает, попробуйте набрать

sudo dpkg -i

без нажатия Enter. Добавьте пробел в конец. Затем перетащите файл из Nautilus (файловый браузер) в окно терминала. Это вставит его полный путь. Затем нажмите Enter.

Empire Version

2.3.0 (from dev branch)

OS Information (Linux flavor, Python version)

Kali 2019.1 (Rolling)

Expected behavior and description of the error, including any actions taken immediately prior to the error. The more detail the better.

Expected successful installation. Error: dpkg: error: cannot access archive ‘libssl1.0.0_1.0.1t-1+deb8u7_amd64.deb’: No such file or directory

Steps:

1. git clone [URL link from main page]
2. Navigated to setup folder, and ./install.sh
3. Received error message: dpkg: error: cannot access archive ‘libssl1.0.0_1.0.1t-1+deb8u7_amd64.deb’: No such file or directory
4. pip install --force-reinstall pip==18.1
5. edited /setup/install.sh. Commented out all lines of pip install --upgrade pip
6. Tried to reinstall with ./install.sh. Same error message
7. sudo rm -rf Empire in opt folder where Empire was installed.
8. Migrated over to dev branch, git clone [URL link from dev branch]
9. Navigated to setup folder, and ./install.sh
10. Received error message again.

So whether I install from the master or dev branches, I get the same error message.

Screenshot of error, embedded text output, or Pastebin link to the error

dpkg: error: cannot access archive ‘libssl1.0.0_1.0.1t-1+deb8u7_amd64.deb’: No such file or directory

Any additional information

I saw another question related to this error here, but was unable to get it resolved using the suggestions there.

Also, this is my very first time on github, so I apologize in advance for misinformation, etc.

3. Re: dpkg: error: cannot access archive
   

   Multiple errors that have nothing directly to do with each other, at least one give an I/O error on file access… That smells like a damaged filesystem, possibly a broken harddrive.

   Can you test smart status of your hard drive? BTW, best to monitor that over time.

   [QUOTE=ttgteacher;14139676]I am running Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS

   When I update and upgrade, I get the following error:

   Code:

   ... cannot read /var/lib/dpkg/info/fonts-tibetan-machine.list (Input/output error)

   When I saw this in the first post, the first thing I thought of was;

   Reboot the machine and at the Grub2 menu, use Advance Options > Rescue > fsck. If it is just an EXT filesystem error, it will attempt to repair it. If it is a bad part of the disk, it will attempt to move it to a good part of the disk and mark that sector as bad. The same with ZFS ZPool scrub for filesystems on ZFS.

   If it says that it had to repair the filesystem and there is still a problem with reading that file, then reinstall the package via

   Code:

   sudo apt install --reinstall fonts-tibetan-machine

   I recognize that as a font package for Tibetan, Dzongkha and Ladakhi.

   I may be confused, but… Everyone lately seems to jump directly to smartmontools first for reading errors (which I use), but seem to forget that there are other tools to use first. That, and smartmontools is not a default installed application and so it would need to be installed by a User before using it.

   I love smartmontools and it is invaluable for what it does, and what it can report… now, along with nvme-cli for NVMe drives. I use both a lot.

   Just my thoughts.

Ubuntu Wiki

DebuggingInstallationIssues

This page is part of the debugging series — pages with debugging details for a variety of Ubuntu packages.

Introduction

This page lists some general issues that users might encounter while performing updates of their system. Apport will usually detect these failures and file a bug in Launchpad. These bugs can be identified by the bug tag ‘apport-package’ and can occur on nearly any package.

There are usually log file attached to the report which differs depending on the kind of install/upgrade:

Package install/upgrade: DpkgTerminalLog

Distribution upgrade: VarLogDistupgradeMain and VarLogDistupgradeApttermlog

Detailed informations about debugging updatemanager can be found at DebuggingUpdateManager.

Documented below are the most commonly reported issues. For each case there is a description and a sample report and when applicable there is a workaround or fix and the master report it should be marked a duplicate of.

Known issues

Corrupted package archive

These errors indicates a corrupted archive (.deb or files on disk) The root cause of the corruption may be a bad network connection, faulty hardware, hardware shutdown.

For those report the common workaround and stock response is:

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that there was an error caused by a corrupted archive. Please execute the following commands, as it will clear your package cache, in a terminal ( Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal ) :

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update

Then try performing the update again. This will likely resolve your issue. If so please set the bug’s status to Invalid. Thanks in advance!

Not a Debian format archive

This error indicated that the header of the .deb archive is not recognized as a valid debian format.

Corrupted filesystem tarfile

—fsys-tarfile

short read — Input/output error

The ‘short read’ error happens when trying to install a partially downloaded package. The front-end verify the integrity of the archive, but it is not the case if dpkg is invoked directly.

An input/output error is likely to mean filesystem corruption, hardware problems or no space left on hard disk. The typical errors are:

The suggestion is to run a manual fsck and look whether the hard drive or storage device is operating correctly (dmesg may contain helpful information too)

TODO: Write a standard response

Exec format error

This error indicates that the installation or removal script is corrupted. It is caused by a sudden system failure during dpkg operation (power failure, hardware failure, . ) on filesystems supporting delayed allocation (like ext4, xfs, btrfs, . )

Empty files or files filed with garbage are left on the hard drive. The file causing the dpkg error is one of /var/lib/dpkg/info/PACKAGE_NAME.p*

This error can occur either during installation or removal of the package.

During installation of a package

During removal of a package

Workaround A: Finish the install

sudo apt-get clean
sudo aptitude download python-libvirt
sudo dpkg —unpack ./python-libvirt*.deb
sudo dpkg —configure python-libvirt

Workaround B: Remove the package and reinstall

sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/flashplugin-installer.
sudo apt-get remove —purge flashplugin-installer
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update

Then reinstall the package

Note: Change the package by the one which failed (check the log file)

Note about localized error message:
Finding this error in the log is not always easy because the error string has been localized.

• Error de formato ejecutable
• Errore di formato di exec

triggers ci file contains unknown directive syntax

This is the same kind of issue than the one above. It means that the trigger file is empty or corrupted. The file is /var/lib/dpkg/info/PACKAGE.triggers This error can occur during installation or removal of a package.

During installation of a package

Workaround

remove the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/PACKAGE.triggers
sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/PACKAGE.triggers
and run
sudo dpkg —purge ureadahead
then clean your cache
sudo apt-get clean
and try performing the install of ureadahead again.

lzma : decoder error

files list file missing final newline / contains empty filename

This error indicates that the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/PACKAGE_NAME.list is corrupted ( empty or full of garbage ) The reason may be a disk error, a memory error, a process being interrupted during unpack, .

Typically these errors take the form :
files list file for package packagename contains empty filename
or
files list file for package packagename is missing final newline

Workaround: Recreate the file list from .deb
This can be fixed, with a little work. If you have the .deb file for the offending package currently available on your system, then check its integrity by running:
dpkg —contents /var/cache/apt/archive/libgnome2-0_2.24.1-0ubuntu3_i386.deb
or get a .deb file by running :
sudo apt-get install —reinstall —download-only libgnome2-0

Once you have a valid .deb file, then you can reconstitute the file. First become root by using sudo -s (enter your administrative user password if necessary), and then use the following command (copy/paste and change the package name accordingly):

Inconsistent state

Package in bad inconsistent state

Workaround A:

Please open a Terminal from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type or copy and paste the row below:

sudo apt-get —reinstall install cupsys
sudo dpkg —configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install

give your user password when requested, you don’t see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

Workaround B:

Try the command below to purge the offending packages :
sudo dpkg —purge —force-remove-reinstreq flashplugin-installer flashplugin-nonfree

Then to reinstall :
sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer

package is already installed and configured

Conditions of this failure are unknown. Please provide any additional informations in the master report.

Note to triagers: Before marking a report as duplicate, be sure that there is no other error in the log file term.log . In other words, don’t blindly duplicate because the title says ‘already installed and configured’.

Workaround A:

sudo dpkg —configure -a

Workaround B:

sudo apt-get install —reinstall language-pack-ar

Other issues

Can’t access archive

The source of this error is not clearly identified and needs further investigation (see comment #3 of the master report)

No space left on device

Bug 105113 was a request to detect this prior to performing any updates.

Bug 312491 was a request to report to the user when running out of disk space.

This error is self-explanatory.

Note about localized error message:
Despite the fact that there is no ambiguity regarding the cause of the failure, finding this error in the log is not always easy because the error string has been localized. Checking for the strings —unpack and buffer_write in the error log is a good indication too.

DbDriver «config» is locked

fuser -v will return the locking process if any. Kill it and try performing the upgrade again. Most often, this is only a transient situation and fuser will return nothing. Simply performing the update again should solve this issue.

/var/lib/defoma/locked exists

Under certain circumstances font packages failed to install with the following error:

Workaround

Open a terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal ) and run the following command:

/etc/defoma/hints/FONTNAME.hints: Unable to open, or empty

Under certain circumstances font packages failed to install with the following error:

This is due to a corrupted hint file.

Workaround

To workaround it, open a terminal and run the following commands:

Then try performing the install again. Replace the font file name (FONTNAME) by the font name failing on your system (e.g ttf-dejavu-extra, ttf-konatu, . )

Non-bugs

Common issues arising from hardware failures, common invalid bugs for this category.

Segmentation Fault — Exit status 139

If the installation failed with no reason with an exit status 139, that the configuration script is trivial and there is no other report of this kind for that package, then this is very likely a memory corruption error.

The error from the term.log will show something like this:

There is not much we can do except the advice below:

Thanks for your report.

This looks like a hardware issue. Could you run memtest on your system? (boot a live CD / USB key and select test memory)

The reporter will most of the time says that the test reports error. If so, then close the report.

Note : an exit status 139 can also appear on other scenarios that aren’t related to faulty memory modules. For example, if you install a Hardy guest on a Lenny host using Xen, and then try an apt-get upgrade on the Hardy guest, that will fail with a segfault and an exit status 139 if you forget to disable /lib/tls as advised in the Xen Faq

помощь новичку

Закончил установку debian. Ща буду ставить по,настраивать ос под себя) и первый вопрос что тут по архивам,архиваторам и т.д?

пакет engrampa поставь, будет тебе гуй к архиваторам разным.

Все наиболее распространенные (xz, tar, bz2) и множество менее популярных (например zip) поддерживаются из коробки, а вот с маргинальными 7z и rar все не так радужно. Для 7z нужен p7zip, для rar — unrar (доступна только распаковка).

ок второй вопрос как сделать мигающий курсор в терминале?

В GNOME, что стоит у тебя, уже включен архиватор.

какой софт посоветуете поставить? как ставить filezilla что-нибудь для python(ide)

В xfce4-terminal, что ты используешь, в настройках есть опция «Мигающий курсор».

какой софт посоветуете?

вряд ли новичек установил только одну базовую часть системы — наверняка засадил готовое решениев виде DE, а в любом готовом решении этого говна видимо не видимо — и архиваторы и терминалы и фреезила, кроме того в готовом решении есть гуишный apt — специально для тех кто в танке.

geany в качестве IDE для python годна.

что такое luakit

браузер на базе webkit с поддержкой управления только с помощью клавиатуры

Закончил установку debian. Ща буду ставить по,настраивать ос под себя

Можешь перед пацанами похвастаться теперь. Че сказать то хотел?

проблем с ними можно считать, что никаких нет

Скачать deb, установить через dpkg -i пакет. Если ругается на зависимости — apt-get install -f

Понадёргал из своей истории и сделал скрипт:

Обновляться можешь так:

Это команды установки софта, для тупых.

Ubuntu/Debian package на их сайте

можешь написать подробно пж

На их сайте выбери скачать, там выбери нужную тебе редакцию. Потом будет 3 ссылки, там нажми Ubuntu/debian. Скачается файл. Открой терминал в папке с файлом. (ПКМ->открыть в терминале). Выполни sudo dpkg -i файл. (Можешь начать набирать и нажать tab — сработает автодополнение). Потом если будет матерится на зависимости — sudo apt-get install -f

• Bug : 541595

Conditions of this failure are unknown. Please provide any additional informations in the master report.

Note to triagers: Before marking a report as duplicate, be sure that there is no other error in the log file term.log . In other words, don’t blindly duplicate because the title says ‘already installed and configured’.

No space left on device

• Bug 105113 was a request to detect this prior to performing any updates.

• Bug 312491 was a request to report to the user when running out of disk space.

This error is self-explanatory.

Unpacking replacement perl-base ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/perl-base_5.10.0-11.1ubuntu2.2_i386.deb (--unpack):
 failed in buffer_write(fd) (10, ret=-1): backend dpkg-deb during `./usr/lib/perl/5.10.0/IO.pm': No space left on device

Note about localized error message:
Despite the fact that there is no ambiguity regarding the cause of the failure, finding this error in the log is not always easy because the error string has been localized. Checking for the strings —unpack and buffer_write in the error log is a good indication too.

DbDriver «config» is locked

• Bug 349469

• Bug 377211

debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable

fuser -v will return the locking process if any. Kill it and try performing the upgrade again. Most often, this is only a transient situation and fuser will return nothing. Simply performing the update again should solve this issue.

/var/lib/defoma/locked exists

• Bug 386763

Under certain circumstances font packages failed to install with the following error:

Setting up ttf-dejavu-extra (2.28-1) ...
E: /var/lib/defoma/locked exists.
E: Another defoma process seems running, or you aren't root.
E: If you are root and defoma process isn't running undoubtedly,
E: it is possible that defoma might have aborted.
E: Please run defoma-reconfigure -f to fix its broken status.
dpkg: error processing ttf-dejavu-extra (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Workaround

Open a terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal ) and run the following command:

$ sudo defoma-reconfigure -f

/etc/defoma/hints/FONTNAME.hints: Unable to open, or empty

• Bug 521431

Under certain circumstances font packages failed to install with the following error:

Setting up ttf-konatu (24-3) ...
/etc/defoma/hints/ttf-konatu.hints: Unable to open, or empty.
dpkg: error processing ttf-konatu (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

This is due to a corrupted hint file.

Workaround

To workaround it, open a terminal and run the following commands:

$ sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/FONTNAME.prerm
$ sudo apt-get remove --purge FONTNAME
$ sudo apt-get clean

Then try performing the install again. Replace the font file name (FONTNAME) by the font name failing on your system (e.g ttf-dejavu-extra, ttf-konatu, …)

Non-bugs

Common issues arising from hardware failures, common invalid bugs for this category.

Segmentation Fault — Exit status 139

• Bug 493572

• Bug 478841

If the installation failed with no reason with an exit status 139, that the configuration script is trivial and there is no other report of this kind for that package, then this is very likely a memory corruption error.

The error from the term.log will show something like this:

Setting up python-dateutil (1.4.1-2) ...
Segmentation fault
dpkg: error processing python-dateutil (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 139

There is not much we can do except the advice below:

The reporter will most of the time says that the test reports error. If so, then close the report.

Note : an exit status 139 can also appear on other scenarios that aren’t related to faulty memory modules. For example, if you install a Hardy guest on a Lenny host using Xen, and then try an apt-get upgrade on the Hardy guest, that will fail with a segfault and an exit status 139 if you forget to disable /lib/tls as advised in the Xen Faq

First of all, Dockerfile is not executed as a script. Each RUN is executed separately as if you open a new terminal, so

RUN cd /tmp

does nothing, because next RUN will be executed in working directory, so google chrome is downloaded to /home/jenkins.

And your problem is that for some reason (.bashrc script or something else) cleans jenkins home directory before starting shell. So you download chrome, then start a new shell, it deletes a .deb and you receive the error.

The simple fix will look like this:

RUN mkdir -p /tmp && cd /tmp && 
    wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb && 
    dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb && 
    rm google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb # remove .deb after installation

And to actually change working directory to /tmp, just do

WORKDIR /tmp

If directory doesn’t exist, it will be created (see Dockerfile reference).
