Debain corrupt?

[jennz187]

Hello everybody!

Today I have a problem:

When running: "apt-get upgrade" i get the following:

Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
Setting up file-roller2 (2.0.2-1) ...
/usr/share/omf/file-roller/file-roller-ru.omf:5: error: Input is not proper UTF-8, indicate encoding !

/usr/share/omf/file-roller/file-roller-ru.omf:5: error: Bytes: 0xC0 0xEB 0xE5 0xEA

dpkg: error processing gnome2-user-guide (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script killed by signal (Interrupt)
Errors were encountered while processing:
file-roller2
gnome2-user-guide



So I guessed :-) that the file "/usr/share/omf/file-roller/file-roller-ru.omf" is corrupt and I edited it. removing all crap signs everywhere.
The result is that apt-get upgrade freezes and noting happens...

Any ideas?

file-roller-ru.omf the name suggest that it is some Russian-language file, so the garbage characters must be the represantion of Russian letters. I don't think the problem is caused by that, most likely the downloaded .deb files are corrupt. What happens if you try "apt-get remove file-roller2"?

darn i don't remember which forum i saw a similar problem in but if i remember correctly it was a true type font issue try taking a look on the Libranet users forum (you can get there through libranet.com and look there) or perhaps even *whispers*linuxnewbie.org.

I tried "apt-get remove file-roller2"?
but apt-get wants to remove the entire gnome2...
I looked for some info about ignoring dependencies, but never found any...

So apt-get remove .. . didn't help.

(Thanx anyway)
