Aptdaemon

There seems to be a programming error in aptdaemon while installing something

Asked by Mostafa-elabady on 2010-10-12

I got this,
 Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/aptdaemon/worker.py", line 768, in simulate
    return self._simulate_helper(trans, status_path)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/aptdaemon/worker.py", line 936, in _simulate_helper
    return depends, status, self._cache.required_download, \
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/apt/cache.py", line 218, in required_download
    pm.get_archives(fetcher, self._list, self._records)
SystemError: E:I wasn't able to locate file for the sun-java6-jre package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package.

Dear Lou Stap,

I have same problem as Mostafa, but cannot understand your instructions. Could you explain what grub screen is, where to find the recovery mode option and where to find the option fix broken pages?

Thanksª!
